Then Life Happens

Darren Sproat

Darren Sproat, Founder of THEN LIFE HAPPENS

I was born and raised in Saskatchewan, Canada… a province in Canada’s beautiful western prairies, and currently reside in Saskatchewan’s capital city, Regina. I have lived in Regina since the age of four and believe there’s no better place to establish a career, operate a business, and raise a family.

I married my high-school sweetheart, Cheryl, and am father to our little girl, MacKenzie, and her twin brother, Michael, a guardian angel in heaven. (See: “He is in our Hearts, Daddy“)

“Mackenzie is truly a miracle and I feel that it is my duty to make sure she understands that. She will accomplish heights in her life, and confront challenges, I’m sure, that are beyond my imagination today. She will be prepared to face life without fear and with imagination.”
– Darren Sproat

Cheryl and I separated in early 2009 but remained the best of friends. We knew we wouldn’t be measured by the failure of our marriage but, rather, how we chose to raise our little girl. It’s a long story that you can find here, and I am happy to report that we have since decided to give it another go. We are slowly coming to know each other again and have renewed the passion that once was in our relationship.

I am an IT Leader and Career Coach…I am passionate about bringing the best out of the people around me. I embrace not only the ideas of those around me but the means with which they want to implement those ideas. I encourage people to take ownership of their careers and take pride in building strong, professionally balanced, and diverse teams. I have 18 years in the IT industry and couldn’t see myself doing anything else as a day job.

I strive to be present, for myself and those around me. I believe in the power of positive thought, personal empowerment, and motivation through positive intention and I focus on, visualize, and expect the best possible outcomes in every endeavor.
