Derrick C.

Financial Wellness Coach

As a Certified Financial Behavior Specialist® (FBS®), Accredited Financial Counselor® (AFC®), Certified Credit Counselor™ (CCC™), and graduate of Kansas State University's Financial Therapy program, I help individuals and organizations build stronger financial futures through practical, behavior-driven solutions. My expertise spans financial wellness coaching, financial systems development, and financial wellness program design. I also consult with businesses and nonprofits to develop educational content, evaluate consumer finance solutions, and design workplace financial wellness initiatives that drive measurable results. My approach is grounded in both professional expertise and personal experience. After paying off more than $175,000 in debt, I now teach the same proven systems that helped my family achieve lasting financial stability. Combined with 20 years of leadership in the U.S. Army, I bring a disciplined, strategic, and evidence-based approach to every client and organization I serve.
