Daren is a creative person in the areas of science, chemistry, music, arts and psychology. He has created many useful, entertaining and practical inventions in many fields including theoretical physics, polymer processing, explosives formulations, math, music, and the science of self-awareness.
He saved and sold pop bottles as a kid, delivered newspapers as a teenager, and worked summer jobs to pay his way through school at Queen’s University where he earned a degree in engineering chemistry. Daren wrote and compiled a thermodynamic data program for Queen’s University and found errors in their own text book. The Chemistry Department leased a copy of the program from him.
Daren was granted the opportunity to work for the mining department at Queen’s on a project to develop a calorimeter for high explosives. The unit functioned perfectly and is now the property of Canada’s Department of National Defense with over 300 successful detonations under its belt.
