Daren Dochterman was born in 1967, he spent his early childhood living in the suburbs of New York City. He would then go on to spend his teenage years in the Chicago area, graduating from Fenton High School in Bensenville, Illinois. Dochterman always loved drawing, but not necessarily the structure of his earlier art classes. He also participated in other fine arts programs during his early education.

Darren Dochterman attended the University of Southern California, beginning his freshman year in 1985 as an undeclared major. He had applied twice to the USC School of Cinema-Television, and rejected once. He enrolled in all the Film classes he could, which led to him supporting himself financially with graphics work that he did for student films. He helped run the Post Production Department in his Sophomore year. After two years of maintaining an undeclared status at the university, and six rejection letters from the Cinema School, Dochterman chose to look for work.

Dochterman spent a year working as a model builder, prop maker, graphic artist and gofer allowing him to gain professional experience. Then, a friendship with a fellow USC student led him to working for director James Cameron to help restore full size props and models from the film Aliens. A job as the Assistant to the Art department for Cameron’s film, The Abyss, helped integrate him into the movie production industry. He even appeared in the film as a news reporter.

Darren Dochterman expanded his expertise in 1990 by deciding to develop skills working with digital art.
