Darrell's Story

After high school I attended college for one year at Northwestern University and transferred to University of Iowa in Iowa, Iowa where I got a BS degree in Broadcasting and computer science. During time in Iowa I started my own radio show at the student radio station KWUI called Night Tracks which started off as a student radio station on campus only but quickly moved cable FM then was syndicated. I was the first DJ playing House, dance, and club music with a larger audience than local RB radio station as far away as St Louis. Cable FM was a new emerging market. Was on for 4 years until I graduated from College. Also during this time I directed an all gospel choir for University of Iowa called The voices of Soul and Pledged Phi Beta Sigma Fraternity Sigma Chi chapter. During my 4 years of my radio show I had on air interviews with the SOS Band, Al Jaraeu, and legendary Diana Ross. Before leaving Iowa City my show got noticed by Billboard Magazine for my music in midwest and audience. After college moved to Los Angeles worked as club DJ and started doing 12" remixes for Capitol Records and SOFA records. One of the biggest was for an Artist at that time called Pebbles called Mercedes Boy. By 1990 the House Music Scene was in full bloom became more mainstream my interests had moved away from making remi...Expand for more
xes and records to computers which had always been part of my life but started working in IT. 90s I worked for Paramount Pictures, Writers Guild of America, and Earthlink Networks doing tech support and starting my own IT consulting business which I do to this day in Hollywood, CA providing small businesses an on-call tech support for their home networks, VPN connections to work, and remote desktop support. I'm the computer geek with the military crew cut that loves keeping up with all the latest technology and new ways to use it...I've been very blessed and fortunate to have always been on cutting edge of things and been able to follow my passion and make a living at it. Followed my dreams. Never said, "I wish I had tried this or done this." Never had I job I didn't love and enjoy doing every day of my life. No regrets. Have weathered a lot of good times and bad living in LA but its never been dull or mundane. My passion for life started with a lot of the friends I had in Mr. Bailey's band class and encouragement to strive for what you want. Make a leap and try it see where it takes you. Mr. Bailey was a great teacher and never discouraged students at TJ always made u feel as an equal. So yes I have many found memories of TJ class of 1980 and people I met there. Thanks you.
