Derek, a dedicated buyer's agent, grew up right here in Gilford, spending his summers on Stonedam Island enjoying all the things the lake has to offer and spending his winters skiing at Gunstock. Spending so much time on the lake, it's no surprise Derek obtained his US Coast Guard Captain's License eventually working in the yachting industry on both power and sailing yachts traveling from Canada, down the Eastern Seaboard, as well as in the Great Lakes and the Caribbean too. Derek later spent 17 years as a light industrial recruiter, safety manager and operations manager for his family business. Derek now lives in Meredith with his wife, enjoying their family home on Diamond Island every summer while enjoying everything the lakes region has to offer while raising three children.
