Rae Bonney - Mens and Boys HealthDarren Wagner with Rae Bonney - August 2020Sometime in the 1980’s, Darren Wagner began his love of theatre in San Jose California, which led to a short-lived career treading the boards. As it happened, Darren was not destined to be a Broadway actor and re-imagined his life to become a deputy sheriff at Clark County, Ohio during the 1990’s. The next time Darren stepped onto the world stage was in 2012, when the community of his new home town of Sandy Hook, Connecticut, experienced a school shooting that became one of Americas deadliest massacres.

In the workplace, being connected can present health and safety outcomes that positively impact efficiency, productivity and ultimately, the bottom line.
