Derek MacFarlane

Derek MacFarlane has been a Zionsville resident since the age of 5 and was grateful to complete his entire K-12 education here. Derek graduated cum laude from Butler University a semester early with a double major and was the only student in his graduating class to receive highest departmental honors in both finance and risk management.

 

Derek’s skill set and licenses expand the offerings of our office and as a result we are able to serve our clients in a more comprehensive way. He has had exposure to the financial industry since a young age through helping his father with his career as a totally blind keynote inspirational speaker.

Derek is honored to be in his first 3-year term on the Zionsville United Methodist Church finance committee. He is a member of the Indianapolis WWII Roundtable which is dedicated to preserving the history of WWII veterans and their stories. He belongs to three business organizations, Beta Gamma Sigma, Alpha Kappa Psi, and Financial Management Association National Honors Society.

 

Outside of the office he enjoys spending time with family and friends, being out in nature and learning about history. He loves traveling and experiencing countries and their cultures firsthand.

In the summer Mary Jane and Greg visit the family cottage in northern Michigan which is a quiet and relaxing time for both.
