Our Story
Building Ryleigh Wealth
Management

Derrick began his career as an intern with Hartford Life Insurance, building a strong foundation in insurance that remains an important part of his business today. In 2004, he became a Financial Advisor with AG Edwards near Kansas City and has held the AAMS designation throughout his career.

In 2014, Derrick moved to Flagstaff with Edward Jones, where he last served as a Performance Leader and Ted Jones Coach, coaching and mentoring new Advisors. In 2018, Roxanne Kirk joined him as his BOA, and in 2020, Derrick and Roxanne took the leap into independence.

Driven by his passion for coaching, Derrick wanted to create a firm where Advisors could help build the business and create lasting legacies for our clients. That vision became Ryleigh Wealth Management, and we’re proud of where it has brought us today.
