About Darrin

Born and raised in Northern Ohio, Darrin went to the University of Cincinnati in 1993 to chase his dream of playing Division 1 Soccer. After being sidelined by an injury, it was there he found his passion for the game of golf. In 1999, he decided to pursue that passion and moved to Arizona to further explore the industry and attend the Mundus Institute of Golf Course Management. After graduating, Darrin went on to become a Class A PGA Member. During his 13-years in Arizona, he worked at several courses in the Phoenix – Scottsdale area including: Moon Valley Country Club, Troon North Golf Club, Poston Butte Golf Club, and Ocotillo Golf Resort. In 2006, he married his wife Jessica and in 2012, after having their son Cameron, they decided they wanted to be closer to family and embarked on a cross-country adventure back to Northern Ohio where Darrin spent the next two-years as a Head Golf Professional with Dick's Sporting Goods. In 2014, they realized their love for year-round sunshine ...
