Hello! My name is Derek, I'm a detail-oriented, young professional who has a passion for helping people achieve financial peace. I have a B.S. degree in Finance from the University of Colorado at Colorado Springs and I've started the process to obtain my Certified Investment Management Analyst ® (CIMA®) designation from the Investments and Wealth Institute’s CIMA® registered education program with the University of Chicago Booth School of Business. I've been able to serve clients as a fiduciary Advisor. At Integrity we provide a variety of services that include holistic financial planning, investment management, charitable planning, trust services and more. I've been able to become a valuable team member by managing client portfolios and assuming a large majority of trading responsibilities, leading the analysis of our public and private assets, and working my way to being a voting member of the Firm's 9 member Investment Committee. I moved to Colorado Springs from my home town of Pueblo, Colorado to further my education in business as well as compete for the UCCS Track and Field team. I was a part of the class that re-vamped the program during my freshman year, and eventually led the team to its first indoor and outdoor RMAC Championships in team history. I've always considered myself to be a competitor and a leader. I take that same mentality to my team here at Integrity. Outside of the office I enjoy being as active as I can be. I'm an avid golfer and enjoy staying competitive and in shape with multiple basketball and sand volleyball leagues. Being close to family is something I enjoy and continue to take advantage of by visiting often.
