In 2004, Dariel began working at Radio Paz 830AM, the catholic christian radio station in South Florida. Soon after he was given the opportunity to conduct his own television show on Mega TV named "Compartiendo Contigo,” where he was able to connect with the issues that our community faces every day.

His gratitude towards our country, and to this community, have led him to volunteer for various charitable and professional organizations. This has provided Dariel the opportunity to help many who, like him, work hard to achieve the American dream, and strive for a better tomorrow.

Community Councils play a crucial role in making zoning and land use decisions, providing a more accessible platform for community engagement. Additionally, they act as advisory liaisons between their communities and the Board of County Commissioners and County staff, conveying relevant information and recommendations on various concerns within the council area.
Furthermore, Community Councils offer recommendations to the County Commission on capital, programming, and operational priorities for essential municipal services such as police, parks, fire, and roadway maintenance within their respective areas. They also address other concerns and needs expressed by local residents.
Each council represents one of ten geographic areas in unincorporated Miami-Dade County.
Dariel and his wife, Carolina, are parents to two beautiful girls that they are raising in the Miami-Dade District 6.
Serving our community is very important to both Dariel and Carolina. It is at the center of all they do as a family. They’ve had the privilege of meeting so many wonderful people who also have dreams of a better future for themselves and their children. Dariel wholeheartedly believes that there is nothing that can’t be accomplished when the community comes together and works hard for a better future
