Technical Sales Engineer. My name is Darren Cantrill and I moved to Hawaii in 2009 with my wife, Jeni and son Nathan. He’s a junior at Roosevelt High.

I worked for a company called Integrated Security Technologies (IST) where I was the Operations Manager and

I transitioned to HMSA in 2013 where I was the Operations and Testing Manager until I moved over to the ServiceNow implementation team. I have been involved with C&C Civil Defense (DEM – Department of Emergency) for 10 years where I was the Chief Coordinator. I am now DOT’s Information Technology Manager.

I have also been involved with Scouting for the last 10 years since my son was in 1st grade where I was the Den Leader and Cubmaster until he bridged over to Boy Scouts (now called Scouting).

I have been a Scoutmaster for a 66 boy Troop for the last 4 years and am an Assistant Scout Master for a 10-girl Troop.

I enjoy working with kids and as soon as my son earns his Eagle rank, I plan to volunteer at the Humane Society where I can clean up after animals instead of kids.
