Derieck has built his career on trust and takes pride in guiding individuals and families through life’s milestones, helping them celebrate achievements and navigate challenges with confidence. He believes that with the right planning and commitment, financial success is within reach — whether a client’s vision is simple or grand. Over the years, many of his clients have become lifelong friends: a testament to the deep relationships he fosters through thoughtful, strategic financial guidance.
Derieck’s expertise spans financial planning, tax-efficient income strategies, estate planning, retirement planning, and corporate incentive optimization. He has extensive experience helping clients navigate AT&T retirement benefits, including 401(k) plans, pension options, performance shares, and stock options. His holistic approach ensures that every aspect of a client’s financial picture is considered, aligning their present lifestyle with their long-term aspirations.
Prior to his career in wealth management, Derieck served as a combat engineer platoon leader in the Missouri Army National Guard after earning his commission as an Army 2nd Lieutenant through the R.O.T.C. program at Southeast Missouri State University. He later earned his B.S. from Tarkio College in 1991. His dedication to service extends beyond his military background — he is an active volunteer in his Rotary Club, contributing to programs like United Way’s Read to Succeed and teaching numerous Junior Achievement classes.
When he’s not working with clients, Derieck enjoys giving back to his community, spending time with family, and helping others chart a path toward their financial dreams. He is committed to ensuring his clients not only prepare for the future, but also enjoy life today.
