Hello, I’m Derek.

Following our passion for the Arts, Sustainable Living, and the Great Outdoors my wife, Bronwyn, and I relocated to Asheville in 2007 as newlyweds.  Surrounded by a community of growth minded individuals, with a zeal for the entrepreneurial spirit, WNC has given us the environment to flourish on both a personal and professional level.

In addition to being my best friend, Bronwyn is the lead vocalist of her band Jazzville, a composer, voice instructor, and published children’s author!

Our two energetic and loquacious children keep us hustling.  My daughter and I share a passion for volleyball and boards games, whereas my son and I prefer to be on wheels, albeit mountain bike or rollerblades, when he’s not up in a tree.

At any given moment you may find us hunting for waterfalls, playing pickleball, or whipping up a family meal in the kitchen ala Chef Ramsay!
