Hello there, I'm Darryl. Born in 1991 I experienced what I believe to be a fairly standard suburban upbringing in Bedfordshire. I moved to Reading in the autumn of 2013 to complete a degree in zoology and ended up falling in love with kayaking. I now work as a freelance coach and enjoy a variety of disciplines within the sport including whitewater, freestyle and racing. I'm looking towards becoming a biology teacher in the coming years.
