My bio for the MATAG conference brochure

I considered not even submitting a bio sketch to be included in the Mid-America Trails and Greenways conference brochure.  I’m generally happy to remain at least vaguely anonymous at the office.  Pretty much all the others speakers are doing it, though, so I submitted the 100-words-or-less sketch.  For your amusement, I am sharing it with you.

Darrell Harden, a transportation planner with the Michigan Department of Transportation, holds a Bachelor of Arts degree in political science from the University of Alabama and a Master of Public Administration degree from Western Michigan University.  He serves as the grants coordinator and the non-motorized coordinator for MDOT’s Southwest Region and is actively involved in developing and funding state and local trail projects.

When Darrell is not working, he is likely watching Alabama football, working on his stamp collection, or running.  This fall, he is running three races that end in marathon (1 full, 2 half) in 15 days.
