For the past 20 years Derek has been starting and growing successful companies. His first company in 2001 helped contractors quickly prepare for and pass the builders exam. Since that time Derek has started and grown four additional companies that provide e-learning to the construction and tax industries, private jet management, and real estate investment services. All the companies have been profitable and continue to grow in revenue.

Derek is also highly skilled in creating a company culture where the employees are engaged in executing the mission, and have fun accomplishing the goal. The result is increased revenue and greater returns for investors.
