With over 12 years of experience as a mortgage lender, Derrik Brinkman brings a strong commitment to service, integrity, and personalized guidance to every client he works with. A lifelong Idahoan, Derrik was born and raised in Buhl and earned his Bachelor of Science in Business Administration with a focus in Marketing from Marian University.

Before entering the mortgage industry, Derrik owned and operated a sports trading card business and held leadership roles as a retail and area manager with U.S. Cellular and Edge Wireless—earning multiple President’s Club honors and a Customer Service Star award along the way. His passion for helping others extends deeply into the community, where he has spent more than 15 years volunteering as a girls high school softball coach at Buhl High School and over a decade as an assistant boys’ basketball coach, earning recognition as a 3A Girls Softball Coach of the Year.

Outside of work, Derrik enjoys watching and attending sporting events, golfing, hunting trips with friends, and spending time at home with his wife Amy, their four daughters, and their dog Oliver.

At First Federal, Derrik values being part of a team that truly invests in its employees and the communities it serves. He takes pride in helping clients turn the dream of homeownership into reality—especially when it feels out of reach. His goal is simple: to always do what’s best for his clients and be a trusted lender for life.
