Derech Bachmann

Wealth Advisor

Derech once pictured a life on the field—football from grade school almost into college—but found his calling helping families win a different kind of game. After starting at TD Ameritrade, he dove deep into markets first, then into planning, realizing he wanted to be the steady hand families lean on to set goals, spot risks early, and build smart drawdown strategies for retirement. His north star is simple: do the work quietly and let actions speak.

Outside the office, he’s a car enthusiast with a soft spot for classics (ask about the old Mustang) and a regular at local shows. Travel favorites include Mexico and New Orleans for the food and culture; the bucket list runs through Germany, a backpack across Europe, and maybe a world cruise. Long term, he pictures warm-weather escapes and international trips with the kids. At home, two golden doodles—Jager and Stella—run the show, and coffee fuels everything.

Community-wise, he’s leaning into organizations that help kids in need—through support, mentorship, and financial literacy. Ask Derech what wealth means and he’ll say flexibility and time: the freedom to live on your terms, with a plan designed to meet life head-on and avoid surprises. If he ever hosted a TV show, it would be “Fastest Cars of the Decades”—because comparing what’s best across eras is half the fun.
