Darren has been in the flooring industry for more than 16 years. As being part of a family owned business, he has actually been in it all of his life. Soon after attending Polk State College, Darren came to work with his father in 2000 full time to continue his dream of working the family business for many years to come. After starting out from sweeping the warehouse floors to being a helper in the installation crews, Darren eventually grew into the office and into management. He is now a lead commercial and residential flooring specialist. He deals with projects from one room to entire schools and commercial projects throughout the state of Florida. He continues to learn everyday with a changing market, but is always on top of the leading edge products and knowledge in the flooring industry.

I live in Winter Haven with my wife Rhonda and our toy poodle Sassy. I started with Sunshine Interiors in 2015 in the flooring install division. From there I have moved up and now specialize in installation of window treatments. Blinds, shades, and shutters. I have received specialized training from Norman and Hunter Douglas.
