My name is Derek. I’m a lifelong Hudson Valley resident and proudly serve in the New York Air National Guard. First and foremost, I’m a dad.

Family and service have shaped how I approach my work—showing up, doing the right thing, and helping people understand their options when it matters most.

I started Long Finance & Insurance Group to provide clear, straightforward guidance on life and health insurance, including Medicare, along with general financial education. My focus is on helping individuals and families better understand coverage, responsibilities, and basic financial concepts.

I know what it’s like to carry responsibility, and I take it seriously when people trust me with their questions.

If you’re looking for clear information or aren’t sure where to start, I’m here to help.
