But something was missing. The work left him feeling disconnected from his community—so he left “big law” behind to serve the city he loved.</p><p>That service was tested during the darkest days of the pandemic, when Culver City's Downtown faced an existential threat. As a volunteer leader with the Culver City Downtown Business Association, Darrel spearheaded the outdoor dining program that kept our small businesses alive. The result? Culver City didn't lose a single restaurant.</p><p>Now, as Executive Director, Darrel has built the community connections that make Culver City special—High School Senior Day, where local businesses celebrate our graduates, beloved holiday programs, and year-round celebrations that bring neighbors together.</p><p>When School Board members voted to eliminate English honors classes, it hit home. Not just for his own children, but for every student who wants a chance to excel. Combined with financial setbacks at the school district, Darrel knew it was time to step up again.</p>
