Darcy's interest in international business began early when, as a high school student in the US, his scholarly successes provided him with the opportunity to travel to Russia where he represented the United States as a student ambassador.

Darcy received a degree in Economics from the University of Victoria. Since then, Darcy has many noteworthy career achievements that contribute directly to his success with VKI Studios. Darcy's career has spanned the US -Canadian border for many years. This unique experience has given Darcy an exceptional understanding of business on both sides of the border , and "processes necessary for" cross-border business.
