| | About Me... |
 | | Daren spent his High School days listening to Peter Gabriel, Rush, REM, Tom Waits, Chick Corea, and Jaco and being a bit of a social misfit as everyone else was listening to “Van Hagar”, Metallica, and Vanilla Ice, the Eminem of my generation, but he persevered. |
 | | After completing his certificate there, Daren realized there was much, much more to learn and Putter Smith mentioned Fullerton Junior College as a decent school to attend, so he enrolled there and joined the Big Bands and Jazz combos under the direction of Jim Linahon, Greg Woll, Ernie Delfante, and Tom Hines. |
 | | Daren was able to study a little African, Indonesian, Indian, Persian, and 20th Century music all under one roof. |
