Prior to his career in real estate, Derek served as an air traffic controller in the United States Army for six years and also worked in luxury vehicle sales. His time in the Army was marked by notable achievements, including earning leadership awards, ranking among the top 10% in basic Army combat training and advanced initial training, and receiving two Army achievement medals. However, his most cherished accomplishment was being awarded a coin from 4-star General Cavoli for his outstanding leadership efforts during a mission in Romania.

Driven by a genuine desire to help others, Derek obtained his real estate license. With several years of sales experience under his belt, he appreciates the art of the sale and believes in leveraging his skills to assist people in their real estate endeavors.

Together, they aim to provide a premium concierge experience for clients, ensuring that buying or selling a property is an exceptional journey rather than a stressful transaction.

Derek's close-knit family holds a special place in his heart. Being the middle child with an older brother and younger sister, he cherishes his parents' support and influence. His father's 22-year service in the Army holds deep meaning for Derek, and he starts each day with a call to his mother, sharing coffee and treasured moments.
