Derek S. Lax

About Derek

Derek Lax grew up in Philadelphia, a city populated by the blue-collar working class. His father was an influential figure in the Philadelphia publishing industry, but it was his aunt, the head of the Delaware County Social Security Disability and Welfare Administration, from whom he developed aspirations for a legal career. Her stories of the struggles many Americans face due to unemployment struck a nerve in Derek, who aspired to seek benefits for those without a voice.
