Darrell's Story
Life
I graduated from Valdosta State College in March 1987 with a Bachelor of Business Administration with a major in Finance and minors in Accounting and Psychology. Thanks to Dawn Morgan's referral, I obtained a temporary position with a company called DCA, Inc. in December 1987 and stayed with them for over six years progressing to Senior Accountant. I've been in managerial accounting ever since, and I currently have the position of Controller at Bent Tree Community, Inc., the property owner association for a gated mountain resort community in Pickens County, Georgia about five miles east of Jasper. I participated in the 2006-2007 Leadership Pickens program to enhance management skills and leadership ability. As of 07/23/07 I am a student again (continuing ed at KSU...Expand for more
) pursuing the Certified Management Accountant designation. If all goes well I should be certified within a year (I'm told I'm certifiable now, but that's a different story).
I still live in the house my mother bought in 1974. I bought it from her in 1992 (she came with the deal). Being the seventh of nine children and becoming an uncle at age 3, I grew up taking care of other people's children, so I never had a desire to have my own and that is still the case. I prefer to concentrate on career growth and leave family life to others.
I do enjoy pitching in and volunteering to help others who (due to family commitments or other reasons) find themselves short on time for community projects, such as class reunions. We all have a purpose, and that is my comfortable niche.
