AKA “The Photoshop God”

Derek is our bravest photographer – he photographs people! The rest of us freeze up when you put a human in front of the lens. Derek’s natural charm and outgoing personality make him a great portrait photographer. He’ll get you that awesome headshot that makes people want to do business for you.

He’s also one of our Photoshop gurus. He’s been working the program since before the phrase, “just Photoshop it out,” was even thought of. He’s got a great eye for color and detail, and is an awesome addition to our production team.

He’s also been bitten by the travel bug and has a funny story to tell you about all the places he’s traveled.
