Darryl is truly passionate about how Trio helps make homeownership attainable for a broader group of people. He designed Trio and the OwnOption Mortgage and engineered the first lease-to-own program in the country using assumable mortgages with Fannie Mae. Darryl started it all by helping the first households become homeowners in Seattle’s rapidly appreciating housing market. He’s never forgotten the hugs and tears from his first successful customers as they became proud homeowners.Before Trio and his years of work in the housing industry, Darryl was a CPA and founded a technology company that helped international builders build more efficiently. Darryl lives in Microsoft’s back yard in the Seattle area enjoying the beauty of the northwest with his wife, two boys and his (wife’s) dog Ruby.
