LEARNING FROM OTHERS
Derek Bauer believes very strongly in vision. He says that learning from those who came before us is important and learning from those close to us is priceless. Whether hearing about the "simpler times" reminisced by his grandparents, the practicality encouraged by his parents, the dreams of his sister, or the fascination of family youngsters, his vision is stretched.

As a descendant of farming families on both his mother and father's side, Derek learned at a young age that there is no substitute for hard work. Working in the fields and undertaking responsibilities beyond his years was instrumental in establishing a solid foundation. When asked about these years, Derek chuckles saying, "I wouldn't trade the experience for the world, but don't ask us if We want to do it over." Very early in life, Derek developed a profound respect and admiration for his parents and the family structure. It was evident to him that his parents had a vision. They were to be the solid foundation and springboard for lifelong values for Derek and his sister.

PURSUIT OF A VISION
After completing a secondary and college education, along with a wide array of work experience, Derek enjoyed several years in corporate America. Extensive travel, process and technology consulting, sales & marketing, business development, and project management were but a few of Derek's professional hats. When asked about his experience, Derek replied, "It was valuable. Working for large corporations with a vision for the future can help you remain focused not only professionally, but also personally." Realizing his personal vision, Derek decided to fulfill a lifelong goal: to work for you, his community. It was a monumental move, "a permanent, extremely positive one," he said.
