After many teenage years of idolatry against God Darius rededicated his life back to Jesus at age 17. His view of God was that of someone who went to God only when you needed something. By the grace of God Darius eyes were opened. He developed a hunger for God and his word and hasn’t looked back since.

He is a speaker and the author of Sports Was A god The Search Beyond The Game. He played college football at Bethel University where he became the president of Fellowship of Christian Athletes. In college he became more aware of his gift of speaking and the ability to lead others to Christ.

After graduating from Bethel he served on Young Life staff for three years in Memphis, TN. Darius enjoys inspiring youth through his testimony and the word of God. He has spoken to over 100 youth audiences and has 10 + years of youth ministry experience. He is currently the Youth Department Director at Dallas Leadership Foundation in Dallas, TX. He is happily married to his beautiful wife Lauren. They have a son named Solomon.
