More About Derek
Background and Experience
Derek began at Promofect as a marketing intern, learning campaigns and client outreach. That foundation now guides his sales role, where he supports clients from concept to delivery with clear timelines and reliable service.His Passion for Supporting Teams
Sports have been part of Derek’s life from the beginning. He grew up in a sports-loving household, attending games of the Knicks, Jets, and Yankees, while his mother built a career in sports media. He also played sports himself, gaining firsthand experience of the pride and unity that come with being on a team. Those experiences shaped his passion for helping coaches, schools, and athletes get gear that performs and brings people together
Helping Coaches When It Matters Most
Derek focuses on making coaches’ lives easier. When Albertus Magnus girls’ basketball needed camp shirts quickly, he coordinated a rush order that arrived on time.
When the Tappan Zee track team sought an easier way to outfit athletes and supporters, he established a free fundraising store that raised $300 without requiring paperwork or collections. His efforts allow coaches to focus on the game rather than logistics.
