About Derek
Biography
I was born and raised in North Dakota and eventually moved to Texas to obtain my law degree and pursue my legal career. I immediately fell in love with the culture, weather, and, most importantly, cuisine of Texas. When I'm not helping clients solve their financial issues, I'm spending time with my kids, biking, playing golf, and watching sports with family/friends.
