SUCCESS STORIES
WHAT DOES DMD
STAND FOR?
DMD is the acronym for Doris Melnee Darden, my mother’s name. My mother was the greatest supporter of my passion and vision.
From the time I began participating in sports and until her passing, she always encouraged me. As an enrichment teacher, she always
inspired me to pursue success, instructed me
on the art of the preparation, and instilled in me the importance of staying focused.
“Nothing comes easy” she would always remind me. I owe a lot to her. So it is only fitting to name my company after her. I infuse her life lessons into my work as the principal of DMD Optimal Performance.

Owner, Sport Performance Coach
Certified by The National Strength and Conditioning Association since 1999.
My experience in the field has truly been rewarding and includes a four-year strength and conditioning internship at the University of Missouri-Columbia (Mizzou), during the university's Big 12 conference years; three years as a strength and conditioning coach at Nutriformance, a personal training firm in St. Louis, MO; and internship positions with three Delaware high schools.
