“It seems like I already know everyone.” – Derrick Leach

Derrick Leach is a new communications specialist on the Field Services team. Before Emory, he worked for a year as a data center technician at the HP Data Center. He spent six years at the AT&T Data Center (ADC). Derrick also used to work as a cable/electric installation technician at Emory Healthcare.

An Atlanta native and proud graduate of Westlake High School, Derrick has a bachelor’s degree in information technology from South Carolina State University.

Derrick spends nearly all of his free time running after his two kids, a 9-year-old son and a 12-year-old daughter. He recently returned from the Georgia State Track Meet, where he and his wife Angela watched their kids compete.

“It seems like I already know everyone,” says Derrick about his co-workers. “My teammates are easy to talk to and have made me feel welcome.”
