We all want to live with purpose, clarity and peace - to wake up knowing we're on the path we were created for.
But so many of us feel exhausted, discouraged, or uncertain about what comes next.
Life gets loud, responsibilities pile up, and before we know it...we're going through the motions instead of moving with intention.
That's why so many good-hearted, hardworking people feel stuck, unfulfilled, and disconnected from their dreams. Even when we're trying our best, we often find ourselves living in patters where we:
• Feel overwhelmed, stretched thin, and unable to create margin for what truly matters
• Spend all our energy taking care of others while neglecting our own growth, faith, and inner peace
• Lose touch with our passions and gifts because life’s seasons have pulled us in too many directions
• Become successful on the outside yet feel empty or restless on the inside

On September 10, 2025, Derick walked onto the field at Dodger Stadium carrying more than just a ukulele...he carried his faith, his family, his roots, and the legacy of those who shaped him. In front of 50,805 fans and later 1.3 million viewers, he shared a moment that blended courage, gratitude, and the Aloha Spirit in its purest form.
With his father’s memory in his heart, this performance became more than a song...it became a powerful reminder of what can happen when purpose meets opportunity.
A moment the world felt. A moment Derick will never forget.

"Bringing Derick in as our guest speaker was one of the best decisions we made for our event. He has a rare ability to blend storytelling, music and genuine humility in a way that immediately disarms the room and draws people in. Derick truly lives the Aloha spirit. He is warm, authentic and deeply present, and our teams walked away feeling inspired, re-centered and more connected to each other after his keynote session. He is far more than a speaker and more than a performer. He is a true presence who elevates the entire experience for everyone in the room."
A Message From Derick
If there’s one thing I’ve learned on this journey, it’s that every dream begins with a quiet whisper...a moment when something in your heart tells you there’s more for your life. I’ve been there many times… standing in the tension between fear and faith, between who I was and who I was becoming.
My mission is simple: to remind you that your story matters, your gifts matter, and your purpose is real. You were created for meaning, not burnout. For impact, not survival. And no matter what season you’re in, breakthrough or hardship...there is always a path forward when you align your heart, your mindset, and your purpose.
I share my music, my book, my speaking, and my experiences because I believe the spirit of Aloha has the power to heal, inspire, and awaken what’s inside of you. If my journey can help you take one step closer to the life God designed you for, then every moment of adversity, every prayer, every note played, and every chapter written has been worth it.
I’m honored to walk with you...one breath, one step, one purpose-filled day at a time.
