“The Governor's appointment to the Roanoke Island Historical Association Board of Directors is an honor that I am humbled to receive. The story of The Lost Colony is the story of America and is a part of the fabric of North Carolina's history,” shared Daniels. “This appointment is especially significant personally, as I will be the third generation of my family to serve on the board, following in the footsteps of my grandfather, who passed away last year.”
Daniels works for The Pilot, LLC in Southern Pines in multiple capacities, including the Local Listings and Off-site SEO Expert within their First Flight Agency, Operations Manager for TicketMe, their online ticket sales portal, and an Executive Producer for Pilot Radio.
