The group, formed in early 2018, caters to the thriving mid-Atlantic hospitality industry, including hotels, restaurants, breweries, amusement sites and leisure activities. Derek also works in the hospitality industry with the application, sale and transfer of liquor licenses for hotels, restaurants and joint ventures.
