After completing post secondary education, Darren pursued a career in financial management. After more than a decade in a finance role, he found his way back to the oil and gas industry, based in Calgary. From there he gained a tremendous amount of experience and knowledge in the field of shallow drilling and exploration. As the energy industry evolves, the natural progression of Darren’s journey lead him into renewable energy. After years of providing drilling to geo-exchange projects, it was a perfect fit to join the Thermal Creek team.</p> <h3>Education & Experience</h3> <img src="https://www.thermalcreek.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/01/TC-Orb-512-512.png" alt="image" /> <h4> Thermal Creek Ltd.</h4> 2019 - current: Business Development Executive <img src="https://www.thermalcreek.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Trinidad-logo.png" alt="image" /> <h4> Trinidad Drilling</h4> Contract Manager <img src="https://www.thermalcreek.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/Toronto-Dominion_Bank_logo.svg.png" alt="image" /> <h4> TD Canada Trust</h4> Regional Sales Manager <img src="https://www.thermalcreek.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/mount_royal_university_logo-trans.png" alt="image" /> <h4> Mount Royal University</h4> Commercial Financial Management <img src="https://www.thermalcreek.com/wp-content/uploads/2026/04/BDC.png" alt="image" /> <h4> BDC</h4> Director Sales and Marketing
