Derek resides in Toronto with his Wife, their 2-year-old Daughter and 10-year-old Cava-poo, Bentley. He thoroughly understands what it takes to "juggle" it all, while still having the ability to be present in all the priority facets - self-care, family-life and running multiple businesses. He is often asked, “When is there time left for your self-care?” The critical importance of keeping physically, mentally, and emotionally strong is the lifestyle choice driving this delicate balancing act. As his Wife, Siobhan, would so eloqently say, "When there is a will, there is truly always a way!"
