About

Hello, I'm Derrick.

My personal journey has led me on this 360° exploration of the highest-performing self.

Get to know me.

My Day Job
By day, I work as Senior Vice President for a Fortune 500 brokerage firm in Washington. D.C. I've spent the last 25+ years advising technology, finance and professional services companies as well as nonprofits.
My Roots
I'm originally from Philadelphia, but moved to Washington, D.C. in the mid-80's.
My Education
After high school, I was fortunate to receive an athletic scholarship to attend Duke University. On the football team, my senior year I set the record for most tackles in a single game. Academically, my focus was on politics, government, and public policy. I continued that focus at Columbia Law School, which I attended on a full scholarship.

Brief Q&A

Derrick taught me how space – the physical and metaphysical – can drive cultural transformation. His thoughts and insights allowed us to create a team culture that not only attracted top talent, but retained it. Completely transformational for me, and the business!
