    Dr. Derek brings a uniquely diverse background and a lifelong commitment to health, movement, and service. Raised in the Rocky Mountains of Colorado, his passion for athletics and human performance led him into a career as a professional skateboarder before pursuing medicine.

    Before becoming a chiropractor, Dr. Derek served as an EMT on a mountain rescue team, on ambulance crews, and five years as a medic in the United States Coast Guard.
    His passion for functional medicine is fueled by ongoing education through Apex Energetics seminars and daily study of health, wellness, and human physiology.
