When he retired, he decided to move the family back to South Texas. He said growing up he never thought he would never end up in the Valley. Daniels lived in Harlingen before moving to Los Fresnos. When he graduated from high school, he went to work full-time at a Texaco station there, then transferred to an auto parts store, where he worked his way up to management. Daniels was instrumental in opening Burton Auto Supply Inc. in Los Fresnos, before moving to Zarsky s Lumber, where he has worked since 1995.
Every day is different, every day is a challenge.
Perhaps his first volunteer job came when Los Fresnos introduced the Valley to the Professional Rodeo Cowboys Association rodeo 12 years ago. It s nice that we also give back to the community. He has been municipal judge since 1992. He said he became interested in the position after several people approached him about becoming one. I get to be on the other side of the coin.
