Darryl was born 1962 and raised near Vermilion, Alberta, Canada with a family business in agriculture and heavy equipment earth-moving construction founded in the 1960’s by his late father John.

Darryl and his brother Warren founded NELSON Environmental Remediation Ltd. in 1992, specializing in thermal remediation of soil contaminated with organic compounds such as petroleum hydrocarbons and other chemicals. The company can mobilize to contaminated sites nearly anywhere in the world and specializes in large-scale remediation projects urban or remote, often operating in extreme climates such as the Canadian Arctic or the tropics.

The NELSON head office is located near Spruce Grove, a suburb of Edmonton, Alberta.

NELSON Environmental Remediation is honored to have won the 2015 Alberta Clean Tech Export Award and 2016 Business in Edmonton Leaders award.

Darryl studied Business Administration at the Northern Alberta Institute of Technology (NAIT), graduating with honour in 1984, and lives on an acreage near Spruce Grove with six children and his very busy wife Linda.
