About the Speaker

Derrick Williams, DTM, first joined Toastmasters in 1992 for the wrong reason: bar-hopping after meetings. However, his love for words, his love for people kept him around for 8 years. During this time he experienced the thrill of speech contests, gaarnered life-long friends and earned the Distinguished Toastmaster designation.
An electrical engineer by trade, he was pulled away in 2000 to focus on demanding career goals. But he could not stay away forever and returned in 2014, this time for the right reason: to support the team effort to help each other grow and develop.
