In 2012, Derek moved to LA with nothing but a dream (and one last bag of ramen). After months of dead-end “cold calls,” he almost gave up. Until one day, it hit him out of nowhere…

The question that had haunted him — “Why do some people fail and others succeed?” — suddenly made sense. His career exploded overnight. He had discovered the “secret formula…”

From a no-name nobody… to getting hired by Universal, Sony, Warner Bros and others on The Voice, Fast & Furious 7, Daft Punk, Straight Outta Compton and over 100 major productions… Derek has helped hundreds of PA’s go from “career flatline” to “must-hire.”
