  • Description

    My name is Darren, but I prefer to be called Daz. I have been on quite the journey in the past decade since completing my degree.

    I have worked and volunteered my way to almost 50 countries. The journey has been phenomenal. The recent global events halted my adventures but they can't stop the pull my nomadic and adventurous soul feels for freedom and new experiences.

    For the past two months I have been working on a continuation of a project I started in 2019-2022. Renovating a 300+ year old stable yard on a Cornish Estate. My friends were extending their business and adding in a Cocktail bar, the project was a year behind and within two months I had managed to get it open.
    Not only have I opened the cocktail bar, I have also pushed on the other stages of the project including moving the shop, and renovating the upstairs rooms.

    On this project I was building, managing resources, boosting morale, fixing details and working in the Café. I like to be 10-20 steps ahead, will always raise ideas for example on this project I also documented the process/ gave social media suggestions and even made videos.

    I have been told Im like a tug boat that pulls cruise ships with their reverse gear on. If I have the resources available and understand the desired outcome's then I am relentless.

    Currently seeking out an even bigger challenge/ opportunity whilst I build some of my own projects. Ideally no UK based projects, but I am open minded.

    looking forward to some more expansive projects


    Thank you!
