As an independent contractor with HealthMarkets Insurance Agency, Derek focuses on finding the best solutions for each individual. “I listen to my clients,” he explains. “I want to know their needs, their desires, and what they’re looking for in coverage. Then I present them with options tailored to their specific situation.”

Derek started his insurance career in 1996 and has been with HealthMarkets since 2014. His decision to join the company turned his career around thanks to the incredible support he receives from leadership. “My sales leader Jacob Taylor and my territory vice president Fred Sumner have been instrumental in helping me grow. They genuinely care about the success of their agents and the well-being of our clients.”
It’s not just his experience that sets Derek apart—it’s his empathy. Clients appreciate his calm, consultative style and how he guides them through major decisions with patience and clarity. “Insurance can be stressful,” Derek says. “I just want to be a calming voice and a source of guidance during uncertain times.”
He ensures that every plan he recommends aligns with the client’s financial goals and medical needs, including checking that their doctors and prescriptions are covered.
Originally from Philadelphia, Derek relocated to Florida after college to escape the cold and start a new chapter. Today, he enjoys the warm weather, Jacksonville’s vibrant lifestyle, and especially the local golf courses. “I’m no pro,” he laughs, “but I enjoy playing the game.”
Outside of work, Derek is a self-proclaimed movie nerd who loves all things Marvel, Star Wars, and classic cinema. He’s also a fan of Formula 1 racing, football, basketball, hockey, and video games. His diverse interests make him instantly relatable to clients from all walks of life.
