Daren Goldfarb '87


Daren Goldfarb ‘87 definitely knows that hard work and dedication pays off. Almost 25 years after leaving Marymount, Daren still remembers his time here and the many doors that Marymount opened for him.

When looking back at his years at Marymount, Daren recalls how the College allowed him to develop confidence as both a student and a person. The environment, small class sizes and professors’ willingness to help their students made his experience here unforgettable. Daren was very involved during his time at Marymount, from participating in sports to working in the preschool with Virginia Wade.

After Marymount, Daren transferred to Northeastern University in Boston, where he graduated with Honors with a B.S. in Human Services. Daren is currently Director of Sales for the Western Region at United Natural Foods, Inc. (UNFI), the largest wholesaler of natural, organic and specialty foods in the US and Canada. He is responsible for a division that grosses over one billion in sales and makes up over 30 percent of the company’s revenue.

Daren is currently living in Long Beach with his eleven-year-old daughter. When not at her soccer or volleyball games, their favorite thing to do is travel. They have already visited Costa Rica, Australia, and New Zealand and are currently planning a trip to Thailand sometime in the upcoming year.

Daren’s advice for current Marymount students: “Cherish your few years at Marymount and take the opportunity - with its small class sizes and nurturing professors - to set the tone for wherever you end up.
