Darrell McVea
Community Financial EducatorHi! My name is Darrell McVea, and I am the Community Financial Educator with Peninsula Credit Union of Shelton. I’ve been married to the woman of dreams my for 31 years, who has gifted me 3 children, who between them, gifted me 5 grandchildren, all within 15 miles of our home. I love fishing, taking long walks and hikes with my family.
My work with Peninsula Credit Union provides Financial Education without cost to the communities it serves. I am passionate about being able to do this and look forward to helping you with your needs. A good understanding of your finances can help make your dreams come true and break the cycle of poverty. I wish I had early in life, a mentor who could educate me on money matters. I found that mentor in my wife. Let me help you achieve financial stability while you are dreaming about that college education, that new car, or your very own home. Give me a call. Let’s walk the walk of understanding money. My priority is you!
