My Mission Statement
My mission is to be your trusted financial resource, utilizing my professional experience, hard work, integrity, and long term thinking. I work with business owners, individuals and families to create customized investment solutions to help achieve their financial goals.
My Story and Services
Derek has been a financial advisor since joining Morgan Stanley in 1993. Prior to joining the firm, he attended Texas Tech and graduated with a degree in accounting and then worked in the auditing industry for several years before making a change. This decision to enter the financial services industry stems from his lifelong passion for investing, the stock market, and the economy. With more than 27-years at Morgan Stanley, Derek has had the opportunity to work with a wide array of clientele, all with different needs and unique definitions of what success means to them. Over the course of these relationships, he has advised clients through the various stages of their financial lives from accumulation to distribution to generational wealth transfer.
As a trusted Advisor, Derek works hard to truly understand each clients’ unique financial situation and deliver customized solutions that are supported by a planning process that defines goals, sets expectations, manages risk, and provides a roadmap aimed toward success.
Outside of work, Derek values spending time with my wife and three adult children. He is an avid runner, cyclist, and outdoorsman and he often volunteers his time helping to improve literacy in both adults and children.
