Derek's Bio
Athletic History: Sports is my way of life. Ever since I was little I was either kicking a soccer ball, swimming in the ocean or dribbling a basketball. My sophomore year of high school I started playing tennis and by my senior year I was co-captain of the tennis team. After my senior year I pretty much stopped playing tennis and went to community college for two years where I shifted over to basketball since there was pretty much nothing to do. In 2006 I got the honor of touring the Basketball Hall of Fame and it left me dribbling!
Personal: I am currently a Junior/Senior at the University of Arizona majoring in Journalism and minoring in Criminal Justice Adminstration. I finished up an internship with Fox out in Tucson, Arizona back in June of 2008 and currently filming the MBA Program at the University of Arizona as well as filming local high schools for LocalSportsDVDs.com.
I am originally born and raised in Sparta, New Jersey where I lived for over 21 years.
