In June of 1987, after majoring in finance and economics, Darin began his career as a stockbroker with Waddell & Reed. In 1993, he started his own mortgage brokerage company, and his subsequent success thrust him into millionaire status. But the subprime meltdown of 2007/2008, and its aftermath, completely leveled his success and the life he’d built for his family. In the blink of an eye, Darin found himself broken and bankrupt.
At age 50, Darin was ready for his next chapter. He knew he wanted a turn-key type business opportunity and the ability to put his entrepreneurial spirit to use. He wanted something that didn’t require a lot of money to get started, that would create residual income, allow him to be a part of something greater than himself, and afford him the flexibility to spend time with his children and grandchildren. After learning about Symmetry and the life it could afford him, Darin sold his mountain bike, tools, furniture, and artwork and used the money to purchase his first leads. He’s been committed to Symmetry Financial Group ever since.
Darin cleared $7K his first month, $10K his second month and became an agency owner by his fourth month. Compared to his life during the financial crisis and prior to joining SFG, Darin’s life today is unrecognizable.
“When I joined SFG,” says Darin, “all I was focused on was—how do I fix my life? Now, everything has shifted. I want to lift people the way I was lifted. Sure, there are plenty of other companies to work with. But none of them have the security, culture and investment in technology that the founders have poured into Symmetry. This opportunity came to me when I was on a razor’s edge, and this business has saved my life. I can’t imagine doing anything else.”
