Daniel O'Connor

Daniel O’Connor is an adjunct professor of philosophy and religion at a State University of New York Community College, where he has taught for the last decade. Originally a mechanical engineer, Daniel’s first job after graduating RPI (Rensselaer) had him running high tech experiments at the GE Global Research headquarters aimed at achieving breakthroughs in carbon nanotube-based quantum electron emissions. There, he ran a test resulting in a world record, but realized—after defending the right to life on a radio show debate later that same day—that he could do infinitely more good for the world by speaking up for the truth than by contributing to the world's technological advancement. After a powerful GE manager informed Daniel he must promise to never again speak about religion at work, Daniel quit on the spot. In 2013, Daniel obtained a master’s degree in Philosophical Theology from a Catholic college and seminary in Connecticut, and has been teaching ever since. He has thus far completed several years of post-master's studies towards his PhD in Philosophy at the University at Albany. Daniel is the author of several books, including First Line of Defense, coauthored with Doug Barry and published by Ignatius Press in 2026. He regularly publishes YouTube videos and writes for his personal website, where his books, talks, videos, and other works may be found. Daniel lives in New York with his wife, Regina, and their six children, Joseph, David, Mary, Luisa, John Paul, and Patrick.
