Derek's love for gaming came at an early age when his parents first brought home the Nintendo Entertainment System. Since then, countless nights were spent hunting ducks, stomping turtles, exploring far-away planets, and combing through dungeons with a trusty sword and shield. Originally raised exclusively with Nintendo products, Derek's perspective grew to include other platforms ranging from Sony to Microsoft, the PC and more. As his views and opinions grew, so did the desire to connect with other gamers and video game fans. In 2011, his writing adventure began on his personal blog, eventually joining the GameRant team in 2015. He currently covers everything from features and guides to the latest video game news.
