Daryl Washington is living proof that you can be from small town America and have a larger than life career. A native of South Central Pennsylvania Daryl was born, raised and educated, for the first half of his academic career, among the rolling hills and green pastures of rural PA life. For the second half of his academic career Daryl decided to experience life in a bigger area and soon found himself at the Pennsylvania Institute of Culinary Arts, in the city of Pittsburgh. A fantastic city which blends the best aspects of metropolitan living with a hometown feel.

After graduating college with a double degree in Culinary Arts and Business Management Daryl found, rather ironically, that he also found the world of fashion modeling to be of keen interest. While modeling and fashion are far away from the realm of Culinary Arts, Daryl found he had an inexplicable eye for spotting undiscovered talent. Washington explains it this way, ” It just happened, I never read about it or took classes in modeling or fashion, I simply discovered this talent I had and it’s been like a sixth sense ever since”.

Turns out that is all Washington needed! Since then Daryl has lived and worked in New York City, worked for two boutique agencies in the city, and has built an impeccable reputation within the Fashion & Modeling Industries. He continued to use his “sixth sense” of spotting talent, and in combination with all his previous experience, decided that it was time to open his own management company. Daryl states; “I have been very lucky to have been able to be affiliated with many excellent and professional organizations and people over the years, but also decided that it was time to put my time and efforts into something that I had total creative control over”.

Washington’s Quote: “Don’t let anyone persons ignorance stand in the way of achieving your success, because no matter what you will make it”.
