Testimonials of Previous Clients/co-workers

Derek is both a warrior and leader. He leads, inspires, develops, and trains his team through trust, transparency, tenacity, and grit. If a solution was legal, moral, and ethical AND…tactically sound, then he empowered you to give it a go. Derek embraced your failures just as much as your successes because everyone learned from both. He led one of the most successful A-10 deployments ever to Afghanistan. I am proud to call Derek my mentor, friend, and would go to hell and back with him again anytime.”
