Meet Derek – Lead Director of Phone Bros HG

If Phone Bros HG had a compass, Derek would be it. As our Lead Director, he makes sure everything runs smoothly, everyone stays in line, and the team moves in the right direction. Without him, let’s just say… we’d probably still be arguing about what tool to use and where to eat for lunch.

Derek isn’t just leadership — he’s reliability. He’s that one person you can depend on. The calm voice in the room. The one who makes sure customers leave happy and the team stays focused. He leads by example, keeps standards high, and makes sure the Phone Bros HG name stays solid.

Now let’s talk about the photo.

While most directors hold meetings, Derek holds hot dogs. 🌭

As you can see, even while casually enjoying a meal, he somehow looks like he’s explaining a business strategy. One hand presenting the hot dog like it’s a product launch, the other mid-discussion — probably saying something like, “If it ain’t good, then it ain’t right.”

And he means that — especially when it comes to food.

Outside of work, Derek is the undisputed best skateboarder on the team. If there were trophies for style and smooth landings, he’d have them displayed next to the repair tools. Skateboarding isn’t just a hobby — it’s part of his balance, focus, and precision. The same qualities he brings into leadership every day.

But his real second profession? Food critic.

On his spare time, Derek loves exploring different spots and trying new foods. He takes his role seriously. If he says it’s good, it’s good for everyone. If he says it’s not right — trust him, you probably shouldn’t order it. His standards are high, whether it’s a repair job or a hot dog at a food court.

Derek brings structure, humor, and dependability to Phone Bros HG. He makes sure the team stays aligned, customers stay satisfied, and yes — lunch spots are properly reviewed.

Because at Phone Bros HG, leadership is serious…

…but taste testing is just as important.
