About Me
Early in Darren’s career, he worked as a senior member within Hefren-Tillotson’s Financial Planning Department where he provided in-depth financial analysis and research for thousands of clients before ever sitting down with one of his own.
Much of Darren’s time is spent with hard-working families nearing retirement and those already happily retired. His focus is to provide clients comprehensive financial planning – with an emphasis on wealth management, income planning, and estate planning. After joining Hefren-Tillotson, Darren became a Certified Financial Planner (CFP®) and an active member of the Financial Planning Association (FPA). He later obtained the Retirement Income Certified Professional (RICP®) designation, which enables him to further specialize in developing income planning strategies for his clients. Darren joined Baird as a result of the merger between Hefren-Tillotson and Baird in 2022. Darren has appeared as a financial expert on CBS (Pittsburgh Today Live) and featured on KDKA AM (“Your Money & You”). In 2023, Darren was named as a recipient of the InvestmentNews Magazine 40 Under 40 award, acknowledging his leadership in the financial advice field, drive to succeed, and vision for the future. Darren and his family reside happily in Franklin Park.
