Co-Founder, Chief Operating Officer

Derron is a former NFL safety who played for the Cincinnati Bengals and the Cleveland Browns after being drafted in the sixth round of the 2015 NFL Draft. Before turning pro, he was a standout at Fresno State, where he earned three consecutive First-Team All-Mountain West honors and finished his college career with 15 interceptions, tied for fifth-most in school history.

But Derron's real expertise comes from what he did with his NFL earnings. While many players spend without a plan, Derron invested in real estate, built businesses, and created a financial foundation that allowed him to transition confidently into life after football.

Now, he brings that firsthand experience to WIN Private Wealth, working with athletes and entrepreneurs who face the same challenges he navigated. He understands the pressure, the uncertainty, and the opportunity because he's lived it.
