Darren grew up in a loving Christian home and has been a believer from a very young age. He remembers praying with his father at age 6 and professing his faith in Christ. Darren was born and raised in Oklahoma and was a public school teacher for 10 years before making a career change that eventually led to a move to Texas in 2005. He currently works for a local travel technology company. Although a graduate of Oklahoma State, Darren managed to put differences aside and marry Paula (a University of Oklahoma alum). They have two wonderful boys, Parker and Peyton. Paula also taught public school for ten years and now teaches the boys at home. After moving to Texas, Darren visited Grace Community Presbyterian while it was still meeting in Bette Perot Elementary. He found exactly what he was looking for in a new church home for his family — a church where the gospel is preached every Sunday and the sacraments are rightly administered. Darren has always been involved in church ministry and has enjoyed teaching Sunday school, small groups, putting in a few tours of duty as a youth sponsor, and playing his trombone in worship services.
