WHO AM I REALLY?:

It is difficult to distill the essence of yourself down small enough to fit into a small paragraph, but it pressed to do so I say that I am a person who values building community and the diversity of lived experience that members of it provide. I embrace moments of awkwardness, as they are necessary to build understanding. Beyond all that, I like to do what I can to bring out the best in the people around me and hope that they will do the same for me — it is through such efforts that I have had the opportunity to learn and grow.

Derek Gerdts (He/Him)

Portfolio Operations Manager, Commercial

Consistently Consistent

WHO AM I, REALLY?

I am someone who will always do the right thing because its the right thing to do.
