SNEAK PEEK at D.C. MadHatter
Derryl Caldwell is an accomplished entrepreneur.
While simultaneously pursuing his B.S. degree in Aviation Flight Management
and serving his country, Derryl learned his entrepreneurial acumen initially
in the United States Navy where he was enrolled in the Officer’s Program from 1990 – 1993.
After leaving the Navy and graduating from Southern Illinois University,
Derryl became the Director of Operations at Green Brothers Construction,
located on the Southside of Chicago. When Green Brothers closed in 1996,
Derryl used the lessons he had learned through college business management courses,
military leadership, and small business organization training,
to launch out and start his company, D.C. Mad Hatter.
Although Derryl was well on his way to becoming a successful entrepreneur,
he was not satisfied with the status quo regarding improving himself or his business.
Therefore, Derryl enrolled in the Executive MBA program at the University of Illinois-Chicago.
He credits the information he learned in this program with helping him to maintain
a successful business during all of the cyclical changes during the past twelve years.
