Darren was born in Camrose and grew up on a farm at Strome. Upon completion of high school he attended Briercrest Bible College, then spent the following two years at Camrose Lutheran College. It was there he completed a two year program transferable to the University of Alberta Faculty of Business.

After graduating with a Bachelor of Commerce Degree from the U of A, he spent five and a half years in banking. This took him to numerous Branches across the Province of Alberta. The frequent moves, while also continuing to help out on the farm, led him to look at other employment alternatives. This led to a career as a Public Practice Accountant with Tien Rostad Chartered Accountants in Camrose. It was during this time that he obtained his Certified General Accountants (CGA) accounting designation. An opportunity to work for the City of Camrose became available in 2006 and since then Darren has been employed in the Financial Services area. He is currently the Director of Accounting and Finance.

Volunteering is important to Darren. He has been a church pianist/organist for over 35 years, playing for many weddings and funerals, and also playing for Sunday services at a Long Term Care facility in Camrose for over 12 years. He has also volunteered in many capacities that allow him to use his accounting and finance skills.
