Daryl graduated from Chapman University with a degree in Radio, Film, and TV Production, but was smitten by the craft of Acting while taking a basic fundamentals class in an effort to become a better Director.

Life, love, and the pursuit of a stable future took hold and after a 15-year stint in the Financial Services, Luxury Retail, and High Tech industries, which included a 4-year marriage, Daryl secured his first agency representation with Stars, the Agency, San Francisco, California in March of 2004. Daryl was finally pursuing his dream! Of course, it only took 3 attempts and two years of honing his skills on stage, before the agency "heard" something in Daryl.

Daryl was quickly blessed with numerous opportunities in the Commercial VO market. He had recurring Voice Over roles for the GMC brand, "An American Revolution" campaign. Continuing with his love of theatre and a thirst to learn more about the craft, Daryl went on to be a part of over 30 full-length live theatre shows, most of which took place from 2003-2008 and 2012-2014.

In 2008 after returning from France and the Sonny’s Blues Tour, Daryl moved to Los Angeles where he appeared as a principal in festival award-winning short feature films, "Meipporul", directed by Natty Kumar, and "Everyday Black Man", directed by Carmen Madden. He worked as a “Day Player” and was “Featured" in numerous TV shows including hits like "Private Practice", "Medium", "Community", "True Blood", "Greek", "Big Time Rush", and "Grey's Anatomy".

After relocating back to the Bay Area in 2014 Daryl turned his focus to the Voice Over world while continuing to cultivate other acting opportunities in Film, TV, and Industrials.
