Originally from Washington State (the side with wheat fields, not eternal rain), Darren may have spent a bit too much time reading books and wandering by himself as a kid. These days he’s an author, designer, and a graduate student of social work. He has t-shirts for sale on Cotton Bureau and organizes a Sunday drive car club. Sometimes he posts musings or fragments of writing on Substack. When he’s not writing or working, he likes to spend time outside running, biking, or relaxing with friends around a campfire. His home is in Michigan with his wife Anna and their three children.
