Young Professionals

Ryley graduated from Auburn University with a degree in Finance, and has since gotten married and moved to Fairhope. Growing up near Lake Martin, Ryley’s love for the water began as a child, so she feels right at home in Baldwin County. Ryley enjoys an active lifestyle and spending time outdoors with her husband and two Labrador retrievers. While attending Auburn University, Ryley was active with Student Government Association as director of City Relations. Her activism in Auburn has carried over to her life in Fairhope, and she hopes she can make a difference.

Ryley hopes that her clients fall in love with the Eastern Shore just as she did. She feels there is truly no better place in the state to raise a family and grow. Whether it’s the schools, the beaches or the shopping, it does not take long to realize that those who live in Baldwin County are truly so lucky to live here.

My name is Derek, and I am a local merchant services provider. I started my career in the hospitality & tourism industry as a director of marketing for a group of restaurants. I witnessed firsthand how important the POS system is and how it impacts every aspect of the business. I am grateful for the opportunity to work with business owners and support what they do. If you are a new business opening up or an existing business struggling with your current processes, I would love to help you find the best solution.
