Meet the Team

Derek grew up in Southern Oklahoma, and now lives in Slaughterville, OK on 32 acres with his wife Sami  and their 3 kids; Mila(12), Presleigh(11), and 4  year old son Dalton. They stay busy visiting family in their hometowns of Ardmore and Claremore. While growing up, Derek learned the value of hard work and honesty from his father and grandfathers. He spent a lot of free time with his grandfather, at the family farm, located along the Red River in Marietta, OK. Derek graduated college from East Central University in Ada, Oklahoma with a Bachelor of Science in Environmental Health Science. Post college, He has worked within the environmental oil and gas industry. He has always had a passion for sports and outdoor activities. The love for the outdoors, and growing up on the family farm, eventually led to his decision in obtaining an environmental degree. That would lead to a career working in an outdoor environment, where he feels most comfortable. While working in various environmental field roles, Derek has been fortunate to meet several landowners throughout the state of Oklahoma. Being able to help them get abandoned well sites on their properties cleaned up, or maintain environmental stewardness with Oil & Gas activities, at their properties, has been very rewarding. He has been able to gain valuable experience in helping restore land to be more productive, for each of the landowner's different needs. This work experience further strengthened his love for the outdoors and love of helping land owners across this great state. Listening to stories and learning the history of many different properties around the state, is something that never gets old. One of his favorite quotes from his late grandfather was "It takes all kinds of people, to make the world go 'round."  Derek is excited to hear your story and do everything he can to show everyone how valuable your property is!
