In 2005, as a result of being wounded while in combat (Operation Iraqi Freedom), Derrick was awarded a Purple Heart. In appreciation and consolation for his commitment and honorable service, in 2008, Derrick was honorably retired from the U.S. Army.
In transitioning from the U.S. Army, Derrick proceeded to commit himself to becoming educated and establishing himself in his community with a soul-driven mission to exemplify a positive image. In 2011, Derrick earned an Associates of Arts in Liberal Arts from Hillsborough Community College. He went on to excel at Saint Leo University graduating, in 2013, Magnum Cum Laude with a Bachelor’s degree in Social Work. Derrick continued his educational undertaking at Saint Leo University receiving a Master’s degree in Clinical Social Work in May of 2014. Derrick’s pursuit in the arena of higher education has not haltered. In September of 2014, he began classes for a PhD in Human Behaviors.
Derrick believes his success is measured within the success of those around him and of those, he hope to impact. Derrick has deep rooted aspirations in solidifying today, so others will be able to sustain tomorrow. Derrick currently counsels at-risk adolescents at a non-profit facilitated group home for boys, in pursuit to become a Licensed Clinical Social Worker. Derrick co-host and host inspirational podcasts. Derrick also share his thoughts and understanding which are soulfully based upon Love on the following links:
Derrick has written and self-published three books: “A Soldier’s Thoughts” (his personal journey into understanding self), “You Have To Die To Live: The Autobiography of Pastor Stovelleo “Jake” Stovall” (an vivid story of transformation written by Derrick, but told from another’s voice), and “Reflections of the Father” (a compilation of written thoughts of Derrick and his then fourteen year old son). Derrick achievements are impressive, but he knows the blessing is in his story. Anything is Possible with God!
In his free time, Derrick enjoys writing and spending time with family and friends.
