Derek is the smart, friendly neighbor you wish you had living next door.

As a voracious consumer of non-fiction himself, Derek brings a natural affinity for the style and delivery along with a curious and fresh perspective. His genuine storytelling ability means he brings an engaging and interesting read to titles such as The Physician Philosopher’s Guide to Personal Finance, Know Thy Gamer,  and T2D3: How Some Software Startups Scale, Where Many Fail (to name just a few).

That doesn’t mean he neglects fiction, however.  Derek’s science and technology background have enriched his portrayals in titles like The Changed World Book Series and The Chapman’s Series. Derek also records under the pseudonym Oliver Highpoint.

Derek loves to connect learners to information and stories that enhance their lives and recognizes in his authors their love for writing those lessons and stories. He makes working together effortless and hassle-free.
