About the founder:

Derek J. Bordeaux is an entrepreneurial and self-development mentor who has coached thousands of people across the country. He has now turned his focus to developing and revitalizing his hometown community of The City of Santa Ana.

Bordeaux was born in Santa Ana, Ca in 1976 to Susan Bordeaux and Orange County legend and R&B singer Derek D. Bordeaux. As a youth growing up in Santa Ana, Bordeaux participated in various programs that were based in sports, music and the performing arts.

In his early adulthood, Bordeaux began volunteering for local coaching positions at multiple recreation and community centers i.e, Boys & Girls Club, Sandpointe Park, Jerome Center, Salgado Center throughout Santa Ana. During these years his desire for giving back to his community was ignited and has been the fuel behind many of his recent accomplishments.

Derek brings an impressive background in several facets of life to include – community programs and involvement, business entrepreneurialism, music and performing arts, Real Estate Investing and financial literacy education, self- defense instructing, self-development mentoring and much more. Derek has always believed that whatever the industry or skill set learned he would learn to master it. Because of that, he has always strived to do as much as humanly possible to create an environment for others who have the same will.

Bordeaux quotes “The talent that comes out of Santa Ana has always been Orange County’s biggest secret. With the creation of Bordeaux Community Center, we’re going to change that and acquire nationwide recognition for what we have going on here.”

Today Derek resides in Santa Ana, Ca. with his wife Mate-Tamasoa Bordeaux, and their four sons Tyson, Tristan, Titus, and Taj.
