Jeromy Darling

"Just a pile of dirt and memories". This line, gently lifted from Jeromy's autobiographical song "The Mississippi", deftly depicts his childhood home - a trailer park in Ames, IA - demolished years ago to pave way for new condominiums. Only fond memories fill the otherwise dreary surroundings of his childhood: feral cats, violent neighbors and a makeshift junkyard the kids used as a playground. Too young to understand poverty, but old enough to understand love, Jeromy would find safety and solace in the arms of his parents, Mark and Kathy Darling. Fast forward some 30 years and things are much different: he's a full-time actor, songwriter, speaker and advocate for human dignity, celebrating over 17 years of marriage to his high school sweetheart Gretchen and relishing the wonderful little gifts that their sons Wyatt (born Oct. '09), Wilder ('12) and Wren ('16) and baby girl Charlize ('20) continue to pour into their lives. "I was made for Jesus and Rock 'n Roll."
