“I could talk about Derek’s expertise in digital marketing, but I think his resume on that point is evidence enough. I’ll just say he’s that rate combination of strategic, tactical, and full of hard-work and effort.

Instead, what I’ll share is the character of the man. He has always shown himself to be honorable, trustworthy, honest, and humble, things I treasure in leaders I work with and friends I spend time with. I can’t imagine a team he wouldn’t be a major asset to, and I’d be happy to speak with anyone considering him for a position at their company.”​
