He attended El Rancho High School in Pico Rivera, California. Darrell served in the United States Air Force as an aircraft mechanic. After his military service Darrell worked for McDonald Douglas in California. His talents as a mechanic secured him a position with Continental Airlines and Southwest Airlines, whom he retired from in May 2007.
At an early age having worked as a newspaper boy and a gas station attendant, he was introduced to good business practices, which later prepared him to co-own two businesses one in California called the In Crowd Club and the other in Texas called Magic Video. Darrell enjoyed working on his or someone elses car or truck, as well as, volunteering at the Ronald McDonald House.
