Derek Plance is the owner and manager of Vertical Painting.
He started his painting career working for a national corporate painting company, owning and operating franchises, as well as holding positions as a field adviser and general manager overseeing New York State. Not satisfied with how the business was run at the corporate level, Derek moved to New Hampshire, and returned to running a painting franchise. Launching the new franchise in NH, he built one of the largest and highest quality ranked businesses in the nation.
With that success, and wanting to build a business with that put its’ staff and customers first, he founded Vertical Professional Painters.
Derek earned his degree in Communication Theory at Ithaca College, and spent the early part of his career working in the wine and solar industries. He spends his downtime with his girlfriend either on the beach, cooking, traveling, or catching a football game.
