I AM DARRIS, an anointed and successful playwright. If you are reading this and visiting my website, I would like to say thanks for your support.

I was born and raised in Charleston, MS, to two wonderful parents, Mr. Willie, and Georgia Mays. I am the youngest of 10 siblings, which include seven boys: Tommy, Greg, Melvin, Anthony, Dennis, and one deceased brother, and three girls: Bobbie, Ella, and Debra.

I am a 1995 graduate of Charleston High School in Charleston, MS. Many of my fondest memories at Charleston High School include playing football, running track, and playing baseball.

In 1997, I moved to Evansville, Indiana, before relocating to Texas in 1998. Since then, I have been a longstanding resident of Texas.

I am happily committed to the love of my life, my childhood sweetheart, Dr. Mary.

I am a proud father of two amazing sons, Ja’Darrius and Quenterius. They have blessed me with wonderful grandchildren. I am grateful.
