Darren Wolfson


“I’m glad to be back! Being at 5 EYEWITNESS NEWS allows me to combine two of my true passions: sports and broadcasting.”


Previous Experience

Personal Interests

Darren was married in October 2009.  He, his wife, and two boys, ages 13 and 10, currently reside in Golden Valley. He is also a semi-reliable lunchtime hoopster (except when he’s asked to play some defense).
