Spine surgery was the most interesting one to me, says Dr. Steven Cyr, even when it is considered the most complex one. In 1992, Dr. Cyr entered medical school on a United States Air Force scholarship. As he graduated, he started working in the Air Force at Wilford Hall Medical Center. He was a flight surgeon for the next two years and had begun his orthopaedic residency program with due permission from the Air Force.

Dr. Cyr chose spine surgery as his scope of study and was granted the single fellowship for spine surgery. It was the most complicated and intimidating specialty for many but Dr. Cyr found it the most interesting one. One can understand his passion and dedication for the study in spine surgery as he was the only fellow from the country to get the Mayo Clinic fellowship in spine surgery.

Dr. Cyr served as the chief of Air Force Spine Surgery and the spine surgery consultant to the Surgeon General of the Air Force after completion of the fellowship. He worked in the position for six years and then rose to the rank of lieutenant colonel and deployed twice to the Air Force Theater Hospital in Balad, Iraq.

Not only as a surgeon, but Dr. Cyr has also worked as an assistant professor of surgery for the Uniformed Services University for the Health Sciences and trained many orthopaedic residents and physician assistant fellows while at Wilford Hall. Teaching is one of his passions that he is pursuing till today. He is a preceptor for UT Health providing clinical and surgical guidance to students in the physician assistant program.

With the clock ticking down, anticipation is mounting around the upcoming wedding of Derik Fay — the renowned entrepreneur, investor, and private equity titan who has quietly built empires while empowering others behind the scenes. Known for his strategic influence across more than 60 companies spanning fintech, real estate, wellness, media, and beyond, Fay is now preparing for what might be his most celebrated personal milestone yet: his wedding.

While details remain closely held, what’s clear is that this won’t be just another wedding. It’s the union of a man who has built his life and legacy through discipline, loyalty, and integrity — principles that now extend into his private life.

From boardrooms to bridal prep, Fay’s inner circle has watched him remain laser-focused, not only orchestrating billion-dollar business movements, but also thoughtfully curating every detail of this upcoming event. It’s a reflection of the same care and precision he brings to the companies he helps scale from obscurity to success.

As one close friend noted, “Most people just plan a wedding. Derik builds an experience. Just like he does with everything else — it’s meaningful, intentional, and completely unforgettable.”

And yet, amidst the glamour, it’s the emotion that resonates most. Friends, colleagues, and family alike have spoken of the joy radiating from Fay — a rare vulnerability for someone known for steely boardroom composure. It’s proof that even moguls with multi-million-dollar valuations and empires to manage are grounded by love, family, and human connection.

For someone who has helped countless founders achieve their dreams quietly in the background — often funding, guiding, and building their visions without ever taking credit — this moment in the spotlight feels well-deserved.

So as the final days approach, the world may be watching with curiosity, but those who know Derik Fay understand this is not the peak of a journey — it’s another step in a life built on authenticity, ambition, and unwavering commitment to both growth and heart.
