Hello! I'm Derek. I'm new to mentorcruise - but not new to mentoring! ;)
I originally went to school for art, but since 2011 I've been designing and building things for the web. It sure was a rough road to learn all of those things. I ended up reverse engineering my experience into a 9-month boot-camp-like mentorship program at Perpetual Education. However, that track is all-in and from zero to hero. That's not the right fit for everyone. I'm here at mentorcruise to meet people at different stages of their journey who want to make a serious plan and get down to business. Is that you? Let's talk about it.

Derek is amazing. He helped me land my first Web Dev job and the only reason I am not continuing with him is because I can no longer afford him with the new job. Highly recommend Derek as a mentor. He is very knowledgeable and has a knack for tailoring the experience to you direct needs.
