Derek is a 30-year-old commercial banker from Waverly, IA. He first competed on JoJo Fletcher's season of The Bachelorette in 2016. 

Derek rubbed some of the guys the wrong way on The Bachelorette and was accused of being insecure and needy, but he's Mr. Popular in Paradise and proved, with confidence and ease, that he can get the girl.

Derek and Taylor Nolan hit it off immediately in Paradise and have been inseparable ever since. The couple only wants to spend time with each other, and they seemingly won't be tempted by new arrivals.

Will Derek and Taylor fall in love, and will the rest of their journey on the show progress smoothly?
