Please join me in welcoming Darius Walker as our newest fundraiser in the West Region. He will be serving benefactors in the Los Angeles area, and his first day with our Development family will be on Monday, March 12. Darius is a 2009 graduate of Notre Dame with a degree in Marketing, a three-time Monogram winner, and Captain on the football team. He currently ranks fourth all-time in career rushing yards at Notre Dame. Darius will be living in Los Angeles with his wife, Margaret. They’re expecting their first child in July. Margaret, a 2004 grad of Notre Dame, currently works in entertainment marketing at NBC.

Darius has spent the last four years in private wealth management at Morgan Stanley. He also worked as a TV sports announcer covering college football and basketball for a variety of networks including Fox Sports, ESPN, and Facebook. Prior to broadcasting, Darius played four years in the NFL as a running back with the Houston Texans and Denver Broncos before retiring in 2011. In his spare time, Darius enjoys staying fit and preparing his house for a new baby boy.

I am thrilled to have Darius join the University Development team.
