No journey in life is easy, but everything that Darrell has experienced has led him to this present moment being a part of Arizona's Family. His life motto is "NEVER GIVE UP." Those are not just words to him but rather his lifestyle.
When he is not at work, he enjoys time with his gentle giant Great Dane Thanos, volunteering at community events, exploring Arizona, traveling, gaming, and FaceTiming his family and friends on the East Coast.
