Derek Steele
is a dynamic speaker and author whose story offers a powerful lesson in
overcoming addiction and finding fulfillment. A highly successful
entrepreneur and family man, he came to the American dream the hard way
— by surviving a nightmarish youth. When most people his age were
looking forward to college and careers, Derek was spiraling through a
violent underworld of drugs, alcohol and homelessness. “A million guys
who were like me are now dead or in prison,” he says. Recovering from
his addictions and building a life that many aspire to, he found true
purpose in faith and service.
