Something New

A couple weeks before finishing his college internship, Darius Taper was ready for something new. Sight unseen, after graduating from Ball State University, internship completed, he headed straight to Phoenix. He’s currently a personal trainer residing in Tempe, Arizona helping people of all ages and backgrounds reach their fitness and mobility goals. And when asked the question about interactions with law enforcement,  turns out he’s been stopped twice by the police. Just a warning each time. He’s got a theory about that. Check out his YouTube, Darius Does It!

Favorite movie: Memento.

Favorite words: Michael Jackson’s “Never say never because limits, like fears, are often just an illusion.”
