Doctor Jarrett survived a plane crash when he was a nine-year-old boy. After this, he discovered a fresh value for life and strong willpower to dedicate his life to public service and saving lives by becoming a doctor.

December 20 ,1995, which was supposed to be the start of a fun vacation for young Jarrett and his family, became a nightmare. Caught in a snow blizzard, their plane crashed on the JFK Airport. Fortunately, Jarrett and his family lived through this accident.

It is facing death, that gives a clear perspective to the survivors that how beautiful life is and how gifted they are. Jarrett was thankful to have lived through and made up his mind to help other people understand the brevity of life and live to the fullest.

Jarrett made up his mind; he wanted to be a doctor. He worked hard and tough to live his dreams. Qualified to take the Hippocratic Oath, he now assists people to fight their ailments. It became his destiny, his drive, and his mission.

Popularly known as Doctor Jarrett on Instagram, he has a noble educational background. He graduated from the Summa Cum Laude in Bachelor of Science and did his Honors in Exercise Physiology from Rutgers University in 2008. He also acquired a Master’s degree in Science- Human Nutrition from Columbia University in the year 2009. Finally, in 2013, he graduated from Rowan University as Doctor of Osteopathic Medicine (D.O.). He served at St Joseph’s Regional Medical Center in the Anesthesiology Residency, and in 2018, he graduated as Attending Anesthesiologist.

This information showcases that Doctor Jarrett is the type of working professional who prefers to keep himself engaged with work. But even with this busy schedule, he has made time for other social duties. He volunteers at a hospital as EMT, works as a guide for potential students, publishes research papers as a nutritionist/ sports trainer, and tutors other premed juniors.

During an emergency case, Dr. Jarrett also saved a man’s life by performing CPR at a local Sushi Diner. He has also performed the Heimlich Maneuver to save a middle-age man from choking during a party. His commitment towards his ethics and drive for helping others got him in the list of Top 100 most eligible singles of 2018 of Business Insider. Jarrett aspires to be the star of a short skit, just like his third-cousin – Stephen Dorff, an American actor.

Being a health influencer on social media, with almost a million followers on Instagram, Doctor Jarrett frequently mentions: “Give them your entire heart, but don’t forget to have some fun too.”

A resident of New York City has left this big-town for his birthplace – the Sunshine State. Working as an attending Anesthesiologist, he has expertise in managing perioperative functions and patient care. He anesthetizes patients regularly for general and complex surgical operations, apart from emergency cases. He is a clinical professor/educator in Miami, for the operating rooms for nurse anesthesiologists, junior doctors, and health professions trainees.

He says that his main aim is to continue as an Anesthesiologist, but also to involve aesthetic medicine for assisting others in feeling and looking younger.

When we look back on the day of the plane crash that almost took his life, we see that it changed his life for good. Dr. Jarrett feels to be blessed to have survived and given life for helping people around him live life to the fullest.

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.
