30 Years of Vision, Family, and Innovation: Celebrating Darren and Landform

Cue the confetti because this is one celebration you’ll want to participate in! 🎉 This year, we raised our glasses to one incredible milestone, but two—Darren’s 30 years as a visionary leader and Landform’s 30th anniversary of turning big ideas into reality. Can you believe it’s been three decades already? It feels like we were getting started just yesterday, full of dreams and determination. But here we are, celebrating a journey packed with innovation, hard work, and, most importantly, heart.

For anyone who’s had the pleasure of working with Darren, you know that his ability to see potential where others see obstacles has been the driving force behind Landform’s success. But Darren’s story isn’t just about work—it’s also about family. Ask him what he treasures most, and you’ll hear stories of vacations, shared memories, and special moments with his wife and kids. That passion and care for his loved ones are reflected in every part of his life, from how he leads his team to how he connects with clients. With Darren, it’s always personal—because he believes in building things that last, both at work and home.

At Landform, we carry that same passion in everything we do. Our values—QUALITY, LEADERSHIP, RELATIONSHIPS, MENTORSHIP, and ENTHUSIASM—aren’t just words; they’re what make us, well, us. We’re all about creating something meaningful together, whether that’s delivering projects that go above and beyond or forming lasting relationships with clients and teammates alike. And the best part? We love every step of the journey, from sketching out big ideas to celebrating the wins together as a team.

It all started back in Wayzata, MN, when Darren envisioned building something that would stand the test of time. Fast forward 30 years, and here we are, still thriving, dreaming, and pushing the envelope. Darren’s leadership has taken us places we never imagined, always with an eye on the future. But what makes him truly special? It’s how he cares about people—not just the projects or the accolades. If you’ve ever worked with him, you’ve probably felt his warmth and enthusiasm and know that it’s genuine.

So, as we raise our glasses to this incredible milestone, we’re not just celebrating what’s been accomplished—we’re looking ahead to all that’s still to come. Here’s to Darren, Landform, and the next 30 years of dreaming big, building strong, and embracing every moment along the way.

Cheers to the future! 🥂
