Darin spent his childhood on a thousand acre farm that spanned across both Modoc and Lassen Counties. "I highly value my traditional christian family upbringing. From regularly attending Sunday Services to hunting - fishing - being somewhat reckless on three wheelers, by the Grace of God, I survived my youth and graduated from Big Valley High School Class of 95'." After school, Darin established himself in Shasta County and immediately entered the construction industry. Since 2013, Darin and his wife Cassie, along with their three kids, have made Anderson, CA their home. They enjoy spending their time camping, vacationing, being active in their church, and going to a variety of North State events.
During his career, Darin spent 7 years commuting to the Bay Area to work on multiple schools, hospitals, and big tech construction projects. More notably, he worked on larger projects such as Samsung Semiconductor, 49ers Levi Stadium, and Travis AFB under the Department of Defense. From 2018-2026 Darin has worked for various local government agencies and had an up close view of the internal workings of the local bureaucracy machine. Additionally, Darin has further served his community as a Board member on the Enterprise Anderson Groundwater Sustainability Agency, Airport Land Use Commission, Youth Options Shasta, Shasta Mosquito Vector Control District, Planning Commissioner for the City of Anderson, a Trustee for the Anderson Union High School District, and in various volunteer work.
In 2024 Darin won his election for City of Anderson City Council with the most votes won in Anderson history. Darin has been honored to represent his community as a Councilmember, and believes he can serve Assembly District 1 with the same level of transparency, service, and integrity. This District needs a fierce leader now more than ever and he is confident he can bring rural issues that affect our daily lives to the forefront in Sacramento, and actually deliver results. Bringing together our residents, businesses, schools, organizations, and local governance to make District 1 the very best in the State.
