Darrin is a man of few words however prefers his actions to speak loud for him. He is genuine in his dealings and empathetic towards his clients. He believes strongly in his core values towards family and friends, and to his clients, he prefers delivering promises rather than speaking about them. He is a relentless hard worker and skilful in executing ideas, and turning dreams into reality. A businessman by birthright, Darrin spends most of his days refining and perfecting the business, improving systems and developing the Grow brand.

Since buying his first investment property in 2002, Darrin has been fixated on property. He spent most of his earlier days researching and understanding it - looking for the best opportunity to capitalise on. Going through the process for the first time, he found that there was no one simple answer for buying property. The process seemed slow and the information was hard to access. However becoming successful in his first investment, Darrin discovered that he had a natural talent for property and believed that this was his calling.

Darrin also proved himself in the development and building industry, in 2001 gaining experience working for various government departments and private development consulting firms. He graduated from QUT in 2005 with a Bachelor in Civil Engineering Technology and in 2007 completed his Masters in Built Environment in Urban Design and Planning.

Darrin has also managed the development of multi-unit residential projects and has designed, project-managed and worked closely with other professionals in the industry ranging from architects, town planners and building certifiers.

A co-founder of Grow Consulting Group, Darrin believes that his business is more like an extension of his personal life philosophy. He believes that everybody has a purpose and the ability to reach their desired goals and grow to their fullest potential. He had the idea that Grow Consulting Group could simply be that one place that did everything for you, as well as making it fast, simple and easy. He developed the core philosophy of "a tailored solution" with the idea that this becomes the environment to foster the healthy growth for each person to reach their full potential.

Darrin's comprehensive experience and all-round knowledge is ideally suited to helping clients and business associates across a range of property investment and development matters.
