Derek's Bio

Derek’s passion is to help you become the leader you’d want to follow. With a background in sports leadership at the NCAA Division I and NBA levels—and a client list that spans hundreds of organizations in business, manufacturing, hospitality, healthcare, government, and beyond—he now turns managers into leaders at Lead on 3! as an author, keynote speaker, and leadership coach. He has written two books—SHIFT: Move from Frustrated to Fulfilled and Everyday Leaders: Small Actions, Big Results—and is currently working on his next, Leadable: Be Coachable. Become Unstoppable. Derek’s world centers on family as a husband and girl dad to two active, social daughters. When he’s not geeking out on leadership, he’s likely working out, walking with Rachel, or sipping coffee.
