The story is based, in part, in Derek’s time working in Evanston as a counselor, and also on his time spent living in Hiroshima. The idea became Kai , which is a horror story set in Hiroshima and Chicago and deals with a mysterious and tragic connection between a young Japanese girl and an adopted Korean girl.

At some point during his four year collegiate experience, Derek founded, along with a few friends, the wildly popular and massively successful metal and hardcore band, FROM A SECOND STORY WINDOW. He graduated from Sharon High School with honors and later attended Penn State University, also leaving there with a bunch of awards and a degree in Human Development and Psychology.
