Darrel joined the Opportunity Foundation of Central Oregon to develop residential supports for persons with disabilities. He planned a two year commitment and then a move to the Portland metropolitan area where career opportunities were more plentiful. That was 1975. Today he is the Foundation's Executive Director. His plans changed as he discovered a deep sense of purpose and alignment with his most deeply held values. Through the years Darrel has also been involved in a variety of state and local leadership activities. This includes many years on the Board of Directors of Oregon Rehabilitation Association and the Residential Providers Association. Also, he was President of the Oregon Intermediate Care Facility for the Mentally Retarded Association. Active both on the legislative front with state agencies, Darrel advocates for improvements in Oregon's community based supports for persons with disabilities.
