Derek joins our team after being a leader and captain of the Track and Field team at UCCS. He was part of the class that started the program during his freshman year and eventually led the team to its first indoor and outdoor RMAC Championships in team history. He too has his own RMAC championship title in the high jump, clearing a height that at the time was the fourth highest jump in Division II and qualified him for the NCAA Indoor Track and Field championships. Derek brings the same energy from his days as an athlete to the team at Integrity.

Derek has become increasingly engaged in the composition of our clients’ portfolios. He has been a contributor to Integrity Wealth Advisors’ Investment Committee where his research has helped the team improve the underlying investments used in portfolios. He is very active in monitoring and performing due diligence on the firm’s alternative assets. His attention to detail and hunger for learning new skills provides a great asset to the Investment Committee and to Integrity as a whole.
