Derek was born in Louisiana where he spent his days fishing, hunting and climbing the beautiful live oak trees of the South. It is here, that Derek developed his deep love for the outdoors. During his formative years, Derek’s family moved to Connecticut. Derek marveled at fall foliage, and every year he would watch the life cycles of trees.
