Darren’s previous background and training is specific to dispute resolution processes in the context of Third World Relief and Development. As such Darren spent almost 20 years living and working in war-torn Regions of the Horn of Africa for NGO crisis & intervention programs.

Upon returning to Canada, Darren moved into Alternative Dispute Resolution (ADR) processes specific to Separation and Divorce, focussed fundamentally from financial perspectives. In 2010 Darren launched Canadian Divorce Services, a proprietary ADR process for family mediation and collaborative law with an emphasis on financial analysis/solutions for families facing divorce.

In 2016 Canadian Divorce Services launched SIËSDE Dispute Resolution Technologies, with the sole agenda of innovating, creating and prototyping legal tech and dispute resolution technologies specific to Family Law and Family ADR.
