Joseph Damti

Client Relations Manager

Joseph, or Joe as he prefers to be called for some reason, is the oldest of six children (five brothers and one sister). This familial structure could have gone terribly wrong and made Joe a terrible, jaded human being to be around. But somehow, the opposite happened as he is consistently recognized as one of the kindest employees at Validity. A week after his 16th birthday, Joe was diagnosed with stage 3 Hodgkin’s Lymphoma, which he proceeded to beat the hell out of. Being a cancer survivor changed his perspective on life. He met his wife in college (he actually remembers the day they met, February 22, 2004) and has been happily married for seven years. He has life goals to be a great husband and father while living in the present. If we at Validity don’t see one of Joe’s inspirational quotes on our IMs in the morning, we start to worry.

Darren Dupriest

President & CEO

After initially attending the University of Miami on an architecture scholarship, Darren quickly turned to his true passion: business. Graduating with a degree in finance, he continues to be an avid Hurricane sports fan and serves on the University of Miami Alumni Association Board of Directors.

He enjoys spending time with the widely divergent interests of each, but still can't bring himself to camp outside. During the summer, the family enjoys spending as much time as possible at the lake. Although Darren enjoys many types of music (may be stuck in the 70's and 80's), he cannot play a single instrument. His one remaining hobby is beer can collecting, which he started at age 12 (don't ask). He's amassed over 2,500 cans from all over the world.

Heather Gisel

Research Unit Coordinator

Heather was born and raised in beautiful Colorado, moving southeast to attend Harding University in Arkansas where she graduated in 2000 with a BS in Athletic Training. During her time in the south, she landed a husband and promptly moved to the Kansas City area. While studying massage therapy, she gave birth to their first son and consequently, the massage therapy business took the backseat to a growing family. In 2005, a friend of a friend knew somebody that landed her a position with Validity, that friend may have known the President personally (it’s who you know). She and her husband have two sons who keep them both busy with school and sports but in the family’s downtime they have goals to visit as many waterparks in the US as they can - still waiting to hear if they found one in the Pacific Northwest…
