He grew up in a family under surveillance. Danny formulated his own set of hybrid ethics, blending the world of law-breakers with the world of lawmakers. Danny had a short lived career in the music business, and was at one time an excellent baseball player. Danny played all through school and college, and would have gone on to the majors, but broke his wrist in a fight, which ended his shortstop career. After that, he went to the police academy and graduated first in his class. Mac personally selected Danny to join his team, which is an honor and responsibility that Danny attempts to live up to every day. He does not trust people easily, as shown in episodes: "A Man a Mile", "Rain", and once again in "Hung Out to Dry". In episode 220 ("Run Silent, Run Deep"), Danny was implicated in a 15-year-old cold murder case. His brother Louie, who was involved with the infamous Tanglewood Boys, was severely beaten and left in a coma after acquiring evidence exonerating him in the case. By the end of season three, Danny has embarked on a relationship with his fellow CSI Lindsay Monroe.
