Daniel developed a passion for marketing and website design from age 8, learning HTML, CSS, Javascript, and PHP to code websites for fun. His love grew into Based Agency, an agency serving hundreds of clients across the US.

About me

I have been in love with web development and performance marketing since I was under the age of 10. Every extracurricular minute I had, I would go to Codecademy and spend hours learning HTML, CSS, and JavaScript. At the age of 11, I joined my local community church’s web development team, and I treated that as the most important part of my life.

As years flew by, my professional journey led me into the world of IT administration and networking. I worked for the state department for 2 years, starting out as an apprentice before being offered a full-time position. Here is an article that showcases me as an apprentice.

At the age of 18, I decided to pursue what I love most and went full-time into website development. As I started Based Agency, named Designr back then, I realized that a website on its own would not help the businesses I worked with grow and increase revenue. That is when I hired Eric Sokolik, my lifelong friend who at the time had just graduated from university with a diploma in Marketing.

From that point onward, Based Agency grew into a performance-based marketing agency that specializes in increasing the revenue of the companies we work with. At the time of writing (May 2025), we have a team of 12 in-house employees working diligently to help each and every one of our clients grow.

Be Bold. Be Based.
