Darrin grew up in Omaha, Nebraska and moved to Savannah, Georgia in 2006 to study film and animation. Three years later, he took on his first and greatest ministry when he married his high school sweetheart, Maryclayre. While he was job searching in New York and Los Angeles to work in an agency or film studio, God was preparing him for full-time ministry. He joined NewSpring staff as a video producer in 2010. Since then, God has been growing his passion to build up the local church. Eventually, the Lord moved Darrin’s heart toward pastoring, and specifically to being a campus pastor. Darrin and his wife, Maryclayre, have two girls, Adelynne and Mollyanne and they live in Myrtle Beach, SC.
