After growing up working in his family’s textile mill (men’s socks) in North Carolina, he never lost his love of and identification with operations.
Darin’s oil-field name is “Sluggo”, bestowed upon him by a seasoned VP in a volatile industry. He earned this name as a reflection of his leadership and grit during the company’s first encounter with a rapidly declining business cycle. During this time, he pushed his leaders to think both short and long-term while defining a strategy, plan to execute and manage the changes to come, while ensuring dignity remained with the employees.
In his free time, you’ll find Darin spending time with his family, wrenching on one of the cars in his driveway, or building a treehouse (aka., the ‘shed on stilts’) for his two kids.
