Visit Derek's Page
BIO: Derek is the founder, or closest thing to, of Dirty Sprocket Productions. In his normal life Derek works for TDG Communications, a full-service marketing firm in Deadwood, SD. He is a Digital Media designer which just means he gets paid to do what he loves. In his free time, what little there is, he directs plays, writes and watches way more movies than he should.
Derek graduated from the Art Institute of Colorado with a BA (that means Bad-Ass right?) in Media Arts and Animation. After school Derek just had to move back to the beautiful Black Hills. Dirty Sprocket gives him a perfect outlet for his creative, or insane depending on how you look at it, projects and movies. He's just glad to have a bunch of friends along for the ride.
