For over 20 years, Derek has been entertaining crowds and audiences in all areas of entertainment including music, theatre, stand up comedy, combat sports and film.  Derek's emphatic love for the roar of the crowd led him into all avenues of entertainment following his last musical performance opening for national punk rock band MEST at the Worcester Palladium.  In the world of combat sports, Derek has competed in the North American Grappling Association (NAGA) and medaled in various Judo competitions across New England before landing in the independents of pro wrestling. This skill set makes Derek one of the more stunt capable actors out of the New England area.  

​

A competitive spirit at heart, Derek brought that tenacity to the stages of stand up comedy and captured audiences while opening for national acts including Jim Gaffigan, Taylor Tomlinson and Comedy Central's Roy Wood Jr. Derek began acting by taking what he had learned from the worlds of stand up and pro wrestling and turned it into a resume that includes main cast roles on networks such as Lifetime, Showtime, Paramount Plus and Netflix.
