Derrick Strub

Derrick works with individuals and families to bring clarity and structure to important financial decisions. His approach is rooted in understanding where someone is today, where they want to go, and building a disciplined path forward to help them get there.

Before entering financial services, Derrick spent more than a decade as a golf professional, coaching and mentoring players of all skill levels. In 2020, he transitioned into financial planning, carrying over the same focus on guidance, consistency, and long-term improvement.

He began his career with Merrill Lynch, earning his Series 7, Series 66 (held through LPL Financial), and insurance licenses before moving to LPL Financial in 2021. He values the independence the platform provides, allowing him to build strategies around each client's unique circumstances rather than relying on one-size-fits-all solutions.

Derrick believes meaningful financial advice starts with a plan, not a product. His work centers on helping clients organize their financial lives, clarify priorities, and make thoughtful decisions over time.

Outside the office, Derrick's life revolves around his wife and four children. He volunteers at his church in Palm Desert on the audio and video team and values opportunities to invest in his community and relationships.
