Hi, I'm Derrick Wade!

About Me

I'm originally from New Orleans but live in Houston now. Still bleed black and gold for the Saints though – some things never change! Family time is huge for me. Whether we're grilling in the backyard or just hanging out, those moments keep me grounded. When I need to unwind, I'm likely in the garage tinkering with my 5.0. That's me – Saints fan, family guy, and shade-tree mechanic.

About My Work

I've been in technology since 2003 and found my home in the Channel back in 2013. What drives me in sales isn't just hitting numbers – it's helping partners and customers solve real business problems with the right technology solutions. There's something rewarding about sitting down with a client, understanding their challenges, and walking away knowing you've given them tools that actually make their work easier. That's what gets me up in the morning.

At Dataprise, I get to do exactly that every day. The company backs me up with solid solutions and gives me the freedom to build genuine relationships with partners and customers. It's not just about the sale – it's about being a trusted advisor who delivers results.
