After surgery, he has come back stronger than ever, and has birthed a dream of having his own business dedicated to the health and wellness of youth and adults.  Deric has been running a successful Health Camp for adults for over two years now and all his clients sing his praises.  Dedicated to top noctch customer service, Deric continues to be one of the most sucessful personal trainers in Austin, Texas.
