Meet Darrell

Darrell is a seasoned professional with proven success working in the Christian Retail Industry, serving in a Director role for one of America’s largest churches. Darrell has spent the last 10 years planting and pastoring a vibrant life-giving church in the Midwest known for reaching people far from God and leading them into a growing relationship with Jesus Christ.


Darrell brings his extensive experience in ministry, his self-deprecating humor, and exceptional speaking skills to the Intregrus team and looks forward to supporting pastors and their teams as they navigate the challenges of ministry. His passion to help pastors develop strategies and systems to advance their ministry and God’s Kingdom comes through in his ability to walk beside those in ministry.


Darrell is passionate about Christa, his wife of 24 years, mentoring his son thru his college age, traveling the world, and dark chocolate - not necessarily in that order.
