Darren Buium began his career at EECOL in 1979 and over 40 years held almost every position in the company, including Inside Sales, Outside Sales, Regional Manager, VP Sales, and COO. On October 1, 2013 he assumed the leadership role as EECOL's President.
Darren believed that if you do what you love, you'll never work a day in your life. He was a visionary leader and had a flair for inspiring others to action in order to create a better future and solve problems in new and creative ways.
