Darren Clayton

Electrical Project Manager

B.S. Electrical Engineering - Georgia Institute of Technology

Location:Atlanta

Started:

2016

Hobbies:

I enjoy time running in the woods and reading science fiction. I have completed several ultramarathons, including one 100 miler. Also enjoy hanging out with my two kids, ages 11 and 7. Currently my spotify playlist includes Wicked soundtrack, Taylor Swift and The Descendents. It is currently a work in progress to get them to enjoy System of a Down, Phish, Pink Floyd, Tool, or King Gizzard and the Lizard Wizard.

There is a strong engineering background in Darren’s family as his grandfather, father and brother were all engineers. At a young age he was intrigued by electricity which was fostered by an electrical circuit play set.

This hobby and a fondness for math were some of the reasons that led him to pursue a major in electrical engineering at Georgia Tech.

Darren has been a part of the PEI team for over five years. One of his favorite things about his job is the people that he gets to work with.

Proficient was one step ahead. They knew exactly what to do and made things a lot faster and easier for me. I would absolutely use Proficient again because of how smoothly things went, their ability to meet deadlines, and how flexible the team was with adapting the system’s designs and plans to the owner’s needs.

Proficient is not just on time and on budget but the work has directly impacted our residents. We’re focusing on end users and having real discussions about what works instead of just pumping out work and checking boxes to get a job done. They’re doing things that nobody else is. A revolution with higher level engineering design in the senior housing space is about to hit and Proficient has opened my eyes to new opportunities that I couldn’t have dreamed of. There has been true collaboration and innovation between Proficient and LifeBUILT. I can now better serve the senior community. My client and the residents love the results and our investors, contractors and designers are very happy.
