Introduction to Darrel Sharpe

Meet the Candidate

I've lived in Parker for 6 years, originally moving to take advantage of its spacious lots and peaceful setting - all while being close to my place of work.

My family is my "Why." Husband of Sarah since 2001, we have been blessed by three children (Christian, Logan, and Katie). Christian serves in the Navy, and Logan and Katie attend Collin College. Our other family members - our border collies - keep us happy and busy.

I have a career spanning 3 decades in engineering, consulting and sales. I received my Bachelors of Science in Computer Engineering from the University of Missouri, later a Masters of Science in Computer Science from Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore.

While I'm originally from Missouri, Texas has been my home for over 15 years. As the saying goes, "I didn't have the good fortune to be born in Texas, but I got here as soon as I could."

I'm an avid cook, and I like to endanger the waistlines of my family with the cuisine of my adopted home like brisket as the cuisine of my family, like ragù.
