Derek Stearns, Manager of Sales, Marketing & Education at Plymouth Quarries
As a second-generation stonemason/designer, Derek has been working in the industry for over 30 years. Having worked in every aspect of masonry, Derek realized that the attention to detail in outdoor living and hardscapes interested him the most. At a young age his father educated him on plants and landscaping, so combining that into his hardscape designs is an added feature to his work. With an education in communications and years of construction under his belt, Derek enjoys focusing on public speaking at various trade venues around the country. His work with PBS and the DIY Network helped him hone his skills in the TV world of construction.
