Daryl Hawkins began his career at JHW Architects, becoming a principal in 1974 and President in 1997. A native son of Monterey, he has remained with the firm during his entire professional life as an architect, a rare event in the career of a design professional. Honing his talents under the guidance of senior partners, Daryl found his focus in the design and master planning of churches. He guided Monterey’s Cypress Community Church through four phases of growth, adding a classroom building and Family Life center to the hillside sanctuary. Since that time, Daryl has worked with over 70 churches of all denominations, moving from the early stages of fiscal and financial planning through design and construction. Some noted examples are Gilroy Presbyterian Church, Marina United Methodist Church, Apostles Lutheran Church (San Jose) and Assembly of God, Seaside. Recent projects include Bethlehem Lutheran Church in Monterey, Eureka First Church of the Nazarene, Monterey Institute’s Samson Student Center and classroom improvements at CSUMB.

Daryl’s lifetime devotion to the Nazarene Faith is demonstrated by his participation and support of his own Living Hope Church Nazarene congregation, where he has designed and helped to build a sanctuary, office and classroom buildings. He is currently a Vice President of the Nazarene Building Professionals and serves on the Northern California Nazarene Board of Church Properties.

Daryl and wife Carol are active members of their church, and may be found there most every Sunday, unless they are visiting son Doug and his wife Larissa at their new home in Washington State!
