About Derek

For me, my investing experience started when my government teacher in high school got a small group of us to collectively invest. I will never forget the experience and will forever be grateful to him. Since then, I have had more than 20 years of stock (equity) trading experience as a hobby. Prior to Edward Jones, I spent 15 years working for two publicly traded and two privately held corporations. That experience helped me fulfill a personal dream by obtaining my Master of Business Administration (MBA) from the University of Iowa. My undergraduate degree is from Drake University.
