Derek Sherrell is a real estate investor, ADU builder, and endurance athlete with over 25 years experience in the building/development trade.His first ADU build was a high school project in 1996. That led to a carpenter apprenticeship and a career as one of the youngest licensed building contractors in Oregon. 

Today, Derek consults with homeowners and investors on how to plan, design, finance, build and hold ADUs. This year, Derek founded ThatADUGuy.com and began an open-source video series designed to guide homeowners through the process of building or converting their own ADUs. He is a guest speaker for events large and small and has been featured on BiggerPockets, One Rentall At A Time, The Intelligent Investor and many other top REI platforms. 

As a pioneering ADU developer, builder, and investor, Derek brings one of the most comprehensive skill sets to any ADU discussion or instruction. He spends his days running, skiing, talking about ADUs with homeowners, policy makers, builders, and anyone else who will listen.
