BA Political Science and History, Wilfrid Laurier University
- Originally hailing from Edmonton, Darryl grew up in St. Catharines, where he spent most of his childhood on the hockey rink. He was a body-checking champ, which is how he got his nickname, Moose. It's stuck ever since. After high school, Moose attended Wilfrid Laurier University where he attained a double degree in Political Science & History. Moose brings a lot of experience to the table & has previously worked in sales, trades, & the hospitality business. Moose has finally found the job he loves here at Brand Blvd & is loving growing with the company! Moose is known for having an incredibly infectious personality and can make new friends faster than the speed of light! He loves to play hockey, hang out with friends and volunteer his time. Moose's biggest accomplishments so far? Those would be the girls that keep him on his toes, the ones that have him wrapped around their fingers, his daughters, Athena and Fiona.
BSc '14, Western University, MBA '18, Wilfrid Laurier University
