Derek started off as a playwright and screenwriter–his first play was produced in New York City right after he graduated college–and went on to receive an MFA in acting at the Yale School of Drama. In high school, Derek published an underground humor magazine (sold in local stores) that caught the attention of the New York Times, who wrote a profile on him at the tender age of 14.ĭerek studied English, Theater, and Creative Writing at Northwestern University.
He would frequently send story ideas to computer game companies, which would always result in an awkward phone call informing Derek that, at eight years old, he was too young to be put on their payroll. In grade school Derek wrote short stories about stuff like aliens and submarines and magical strawberries.
Derek was born in New York City, and raised in Westchester County, NY.
