About the Speaker
DerrickWDerrick Williams first joined Toastmasters in 1992, stayed until 2000, left to become submerged in stressful engineering and project management activities, then had a second coming in 2014. Even though he has been shocked and delighted several times as an electrical engineer, loved yet abandoned bits and bytes, failed and succeeded as a project engineer, led and transformed winning teams, lost and made money in the stock market, after 38 years of dedicated technical and professional experience, he remains convinced that maturity and adulthood are way overrated, and that boy everlasting is the best way to live. He also believes that we were placed on this earth to help each other and to have a good time. Springing from his Jamaican roots, his motto is "No Problem."
