Mike Derrickson joined the Sunbelt team in the Spring of 2007. Prior to joining Sunbelt, Mike experienced the business world hands-on. In 2004, he signed on with a struggling student loan company. One year later, after all his superiors had left the company, Mike found himself running the company's business operations and serving as its IT support. Within another year, Mike and his small team had turned the struggling company into a robust player in their market niche that is now recognized as one of the power-players in their marketplace. This hands-on industry experience, coupled with his can-do attitude and his Economics degree from the University of Delaware, gives Mike a keen understanding of business as well as the needs and goals of businessmen. Mike has a history of providing the very highest level of service to his clients and is looking forward to working with you as your broker.
