Who is Deryck Richardson?

A Passionate Entrepreneur, Author, Speaker, and More

Deryck is the president and CEO of Richardson Marketing Group, LLC and a serial entrepreneur. In 2019, Deryck became a published author which added to his demand as a motivational speaker. Born in Westerville, a suburb of Columbus, Deryck has been a lifelong native of Central, Ohio. Deryck has a long track record of leading by example and motivating people to “level up” in whatever adventure they are facing.

Deryck has held a variety of roles and titles throughout his career. However, the first thing his friends and family will tell you is that he has never forgotten where he comes from or who he’s always fought for. Deryck gained invaluable experience as a special education teacher focused on the development of life skills of high school aged kids on the high functioning end of the spectrum of Autism.

Using an untraditional approach, Deryck used vocational and business lessons to show his students how to become independent as they transitioned into adulthood. When Deryck stopped teaching, he promised to never stop impacting the lives of future generations. He sits on several boards including a private school and a community youth club, where he is not only the president but also the director of Basketball Operations.
