Derrick built and bought several businesses and recently sold one for a multi-million-dollar exit.Â

Most importantly, he’s a dad of four amazing kids and married to his beautiful wife Kara for 29 years. Investing in the lives of young people and helping them reach their full potential is his passion.
Ten years ago, he began the “Business Club” at his childrens’ school. It became the most popular high school club. His secret sauce was getting students excited about money, business and life skills in a simple, fun way. Even students who initially said they didn’t care about business or success started showing up to every meeting.Â
He noticed it was the Business Club members that were selected for opportunities and internships that other students missed out on. They had better quality friends. They communicated better with adults. They were more confident teens.
