Derrick Dinger
Managing Partner

Born and raised in Minot, I am committed to doing my part to make this community the best it can be! Financial planning can be confusing and stressful. I enjoy working with my clients to develop an individualized plan that will help provide them peace of mind when it comes to their financial future.
