Daren Weisbrod

Headhunter Support Specialist

What a story this is. A few of the firm’s members have known the extended Weisbrod family for years and have held all of them in very high regard. Through that connection, Daren reached out to us for some professional guidance as he had made the monumental decision to leave the Priesthood, move to Michigan, and prepare for the marriage to his beautiful fiancé, Marnee. As we were sitting around the table with Daren noodling around what the career options could be for a former Priest entering his new life, it became obvious that he needed to join MOVEMENT. He is a commensurate professional who exudes a devotional dedication to everything and everyone around him. His expertise as a professional life coach fits perfectly with what we do here.
