“Upon meeting Derrick, the first word that comes to mind is "Leader." Derrick has a manner and a style that entices people to listen to him and follow his lead. He truly enjoys seeing the success of others, especially when he may have played a role in making it happen; it is his ability to bring out the best in others that draws people to him. I have been impressed with Derrick's desire to continually improve and recreate himself. He is always open to ideas and genuinely appreciates constructive feedback.

“Derrick was always the epitome of professionalism every time I had the pleasure to work with him. It was evident that his goal was to provide his employer with the tools and methods to succeed in a very competitive industry. His experience and accomplishments speak for themselves; his work ethic, tact, and inventiveness are something that any employer would be lucky to have in their arsenal.” December 4, 2008

Erin Siemens, Director, Project and Program Office, LDMI Communications

“Derrick was a pillar in my organization, helping me to form our new Program Office by coaching and mentoring some very junior Project Managers and helping to roll out a project management methodology in an organization that was largely unfamiliar with and resistant to process maturity. His approach was diplomatic and effective, he worked well with all levels of the organization and his clients--from customer service reps to Vice Presidents of Sales. I usually consulted with Derrick prior to rolling out organizational changes or when dealing with difficult issues with other groups and he always listened carefully and provided sound recommendations. It was my pleasure to work with Derrick and I would welcome the opportunity to work with him again. Any organization would benefit from his level-headedness, his deep and broad experience and his ability to be successful in managing teams and clients in spite of organizational and environmental obstacles.” November 25, 2008
