A butcher by trade, he started his career in Australia in the food industry which included a pizza shop and then pie manufacturing business. He also invented a fishing related product which he sold on the internet. Since childhood he always found joy in his creative side by making and renovating things at home.
About 16 years ago, Derek volunteered to make the desks and chairs for the new Cairns Hinterland Steiner School, which his children attended. It was during this time that he realised that his passion and purpose was to work with his hands. At the age of 48 Derek had the opportunity to do a mature age student cabinetmaking apprenticeship which led to the start of his business eight years ago and he hasn't looked back since.
