Derek Curtis II set his sights on accounting when he was in just the 8th grade. Unlike many of us, he went to college knowing exactly what he wanted to do and, today, he is the ASA’s new director of finance and administration.

This month, he joins Practical Significance co-hosts Donna LaLonde and Ron Wasserstein to talk about his career path and give shout-outs to a few professional mentors. He also shares how he stays current in the world of finance and, with an eye toward the future, discusses the challenges and opportunities he sees for the ASA.

On a more personal level, Curtis talks about his family life and what he does to relax. He also keeps a Practical Significance tradition and tells us what he’s currently reading and watching, as well as his podcast recommendations. Finally, you won’t want to miss Ron’s traditional Top 10 as he offers up the “Top Ten Signs You Should Have Picked a Better Hotel.”
