His first TikTok was airplane themed. According to Derek, "The airplane came to me because I am an aviation enthusiast." He also did it for Caitlin, the sister who had returned from college. "I felt bad my sister couldn't go on her spring break trip," he said "so I wanted to try to create one for her and my family. I like to make them laugh — life's too serious right now."

"Before quarantine, my family rarely ate dinner together because of everyone's busy schedules," commented Derek, "COVID-19 has shown us that in times of stress and even a country in lockdown, we will always have our families to help get through things." It's a beautiful sentiment in a scary time, but at least they're having fun together while going through it all. Family first!
