A typical day in my life includes⊠finding balance between running a company and spending time with my family.
I was born⊠on Labor Day in 1976.
My favorite thing about Arizona⊠I have been here 34 years and continue to find new places that amaze me.
I’m listening to⊠âIt Takes What It Takesâ audio book.
My family⊠all live within 30 minutes of me and are exceptional people.
If I could have dinner with anyone, it would be⊠my grandfather who passed 15 years ago.
One thing I cannot live without⊠quality time with my family.
When I was younger, I wanted to be⊠an architect.
I’m inspired by⊠helping people stay in their homes safely and comfortably.
The one person who motivates me is⊠my wife.
If I could change anything in the world, it would be⊠the amount of conflict and war.
The perfect day would be⊠having coffee with my wife while cuddling our dogs, run a few appointments for customers in need.
My first job was⊠cleaning my dadâs offices when I was 13 years old.
My favorite escape⊠at a cabin in the pine trees with my wife and dogs.
My life⊠is constantly evolving and gets better every day.
I’m currently working on⊠educating disabled veterans about benefits available to them through the VA.
Always⊠grow
Never⊠get complacent
Favorite Quote⊠âDonât let yesterday take up too much of todayâ â Will Rogers
Biggest Dream⊠to own 10 acres in the pine trees with an off-grid cabin next to a flowing river.
My Pet Peeve(s)⊠Poor grammar
More About Derek Rogers:
I own Aqua Therapy Tubs which specializes in accessibility and safety bathroom remodeling projects. From installing grab bars, walk-in tubs, and showers to full bathroom renovations for wheelchair accessibility, we provide solutions to modify any existing bathroom to accommodate someone with disabilities or special needs.
I used to help my grandfather, who was a WWII veteran, bathe in his later years. He was a proud man and didnât want anyone to help him – but he needed it. I knew very little about the accessibility space when he was alive. About seven years ago, I decided to start a company offering bathtubs and safety options to give people like my grandfather the independence and dignity they deserved when mobility is compromised.
My company has since evolved into a full-service bathroom renovation company specializing in safety and accessibility. Since COVID-19, we have worked with the VA to set up a virtual HISA grant application process to limit exposure for our disabled veteran customers. We are proud to help veterans get a free shower and other modifications completely paid for through the VA program.
