What our minds can conceive and what our hearts believe, we can achieve. Derek epitomizes this saying. He has always strived to be more, to be better, and to make a positive impact on the lives of others. The values of hard work, serving others in need, and the belief that everything is possible to have been ingrained in his DNA. He is full of gratitude for the life that he's living that he just wants to give back to others.

Derek has lived such a great and busy life.

After earning his Masters of Business Administration, he has worked for over a decade as an account executive for a Fortune 500 Company. His hard work, perseverance, and dedication have served him well as he earned numerous awards in his field. His career has also propelled him around the globe, allowing him to explore different countries and cultures. He took advantage of these once-in-a-lifetime opportunities to learn from others. This further expanded his mind and made him realize that life is not limited to the four walls of the office.

​

Derek's mind is constantly at work, thinking of new ideas and taking inspiration from the world around him. He has now become an entrepreneur and author. Taking his experiences in business, he writes Entrepreneurship and Self-Help books, hoping that readers will learn from what he has gone through. His books on Emotional Intelligence and the Entrepreneur Mindset are both aimed at helping individuals become more motivated and achieve their life goals.

Derek's greatest passion and true joy - aside from being a self-proclaimed die-hard Liverpool FC fan - is being a father. He believes that being a dad is a great privilege, nothing short of amazing. He loves spending time with his family and he takes this role very seriously. He relishes this role so much that he has also crafted children's books because of this. Not only does fatherhood allow him to become a better man, but it also makes his books more appealing to children because he knows their language and understands their fears, their needs, their happiness, and their apprehensions. The themes of his children's books center on destiny, heroism, and adventure.

Calling the great state of Tennessee home, Derek lives a simple but very full life. He appreciates relaxation, friendship, love, and laughter. When he is not busy writing or managing high-level accounts, Derek enjoys a quiet evening playing chess, reading and spending time with family and friends.
