Darrell was born in a trailer house in rural Michigan.

The house was in Mount Haley Township, an area where the per capita income was at the poverty line. He and his brother Allen weren't born into privilege. They didn’t have access to the resources that others take for granted.​

At a young age, Darrell became obsessed with the idea that anyone could start and grow a business. Without access to any formal training, he started teaching himself how businesses grow. Through hard work, grit, and determination, he read everything he could and learned through trial and error.

The name Mount Haley is meaningful.

It represents that where you start doesn't determine where you finish.

And it allows us to always remember where we came from, and what it took us to get here. ​

Our experienced and empathetic team understands the world of business — from the highs and the lows to the dreaming and the doubts. 

No path should be traveled alone and we’re passionate about trailblazing alongside great and talented people.

We understand, because we’ve been there and we’ve lived it.
‍
And you’ve probably seen people all across the internet who can promise to get you unstuck. You won’t find that here.

With our consulting work, we get in the weeds and ask questions. There are no shortcuts.  We ask the questions — stupid or smart — and pull the thread, not afraid of what we’ll find.

Because the solution to your problem likely exists within.

If you’re looking for help, we would welcome the chance to meet and learn about you and your work.
