Personal bio:

Currently studying land economy after a year in New York during which he worked as a financial journalist. Already has a BA in Government from Harvard. Took up rowing at at school and because his father (Brian) rowed for Canada and his brother (Kelsey) also rowed. Won 2005 World Championships bronze in Japan with Canada in the men’s four. He rowed at stroke in that boat – the seat previously held by Oxford President Barney Williams who was McDaniel’s team-mate in Japan but who rowed in the Canadian eight there. Also a good friend of Wayne Pommen, the 2004 Cambridge President. Would like to use his degrees to gain a role in investment banking or consulting but also has an eye on the 2008 Olympic Games in Beijing.
