Darcy Bergen is the managing partner of Bergen Financial Group, a Phoenix-based firm that helps clients with wealth and investment planning. In addition to leading his company, he serves as the treasurer of Bergen’s Mission charity.
Darcy Bergen’s parents, John and Eloise Bergen, are missionary workers with a passion for helping orphans in Kenya. They made headlines in 2008 when their home in Kenya was invaded by a group of nine men with machetes. The attackers maliciously beat the pair, who worked with the Canadian group Hope for the Nations at the time. Despite being bound and beaten, Eloise saved both herself and her husband by getting to a nearby car and driving to the Hope for the Nations complex for help. Fellow missionaries rushed the couple to a hospital for medical assistance. Even though the Bergen’s almost did not survive the ordeal, they continue to work to help people in Kenya.
