Bio
Joseph (Jo) Borrás
Derek is an incredible asset to CleanTechnica and, I imagine, every other blog he's contributed to. In my brief time working with him directly, I've found him to be a good listener, open to new ideas, and incredibly capable of turning conversations into technical changes for the good of a blog and its readers. Also: we both love old VW's, so what's not to love?

I don't know if there are enough positive things I could say about Derek. Derek lives at the heart of social media, meaning that he uses social media as it is meant to be used and he is a very powerful social media expert. One of the best people to be connected to on the web, in my opinion. He is also one of the most talented writers or bloggers I have seen on the internet (and I read A Lot of articles). If you read a top 10 list on how to blog, chances are that Derek nails every item on the list. As a writer and a social media user, I think Derek is someone to look up to. Probably in any respect, Derek is a great person to know and to work with. Happy to have met him.
