Derek grew up in a musical family and started playing at a young age. He moved to Alberta after high school, leaving his Manitoba farming roots behind, and began his professional musical career. During that time, he also took a job for Otis Elevator Company; like every job, it had its ups and downs. For almost three decades now he has been employed at the Mayfield Dinner Theatre playing everything from tribute shows to Broadway musicals. He is grateful to share the stage with these exceptional musicians and old friends. Although not the best bassist in the band before you, he is in the top five! Derek would never use gratuitous italics and is always delighted by the opportunity to write about himself in the third person. He is really looking forward to playing the music of the Marvelous Wonderettes!
