Hello! I’m Derek, a senior wealth advisor and director of investment research at Allodium Investment Consultants, located in Minneapolis, MN. I am passionate about helping individuals and families build holistic financial plans to help them reach their goals. When I’m not helping our clients make investment decisions, I enjoy spending time in the mountains in Colorado—skiing, fishing and hunting with my wife, Kelly, and my son, Archie. I am also an active church member and volunteer at Big Brothers Big Sisters and Junior Achievement.
