Daren
Executive Estate Planner,
Dependable Guide
With over 22 years in the engineering field, including 4.5 years in Precision Engineering, 15 years in Defence Engineering, and 2.5 years as a Commercial Robotics Project Manager, Daren made the decision to semi-retire and take his career in a new direction. Despite a series of less-than-ideal experiences with financial planners—such as hidden fees and misleading policy terms—Daren was regularly encouraged by friends to consider a career in financial planning. Known for his integrity, reliability, and helpful nature, he ultimately decided to explore the field himself, with a strong desire to improve the industry’s reputation.
Daren joined Highlife, drawn by the company’s commitment to honesty, transparency, and genuine support for clients’ dreams, goals, and financial security. With a background in self-study of the financial markets during his engineering career, Daren brings a unique perspective and depth of knowledge to financial planning.
Now, he aims to be the kind of financial advisor he had always hoped to find—one who prioritizes the client’s best interests and builds long-lasting relationships based on trust and integrity.
