Education

Realizing his true passion however, Darin went on to achieve his Bachelor of Architecture from California State Polytechnic University, Pomona in 2002.

Personal

Few people can claim that they still have their very first car, Darin can! Despite his fire-engine red 1979 Datsun 280zx, which has accumulated some 300K miles, oddly being stolen three times - each time stripped to the bone – it has stuck with him. "I love tinkering with vintage cars, sometimes my Westie Bijoux will just hang out in the back seat as if on a ride as I am tinkering." Adding to his restoration agenda, Darin has been slowly restoring a Mercedes 300E 1987.
