Creating His Own Path for Healing by Building a Cycling Community Derek Hosey, 30, had always been a basketball guy. He started when he was young and played through four years in college. Not only was it a way of staying active, but it was also a comfort and something he relied on to work things out in his head and relieve stress. More recently, Derek is a busy dad who also works as a wholesale car dealer. The demands of his schedule have put basketball on the sideline while he’s worked to be a good father and provide for his family. And that meant he was left sputtering after a traumatic event this year in March. His beloved uncle, who was often described as the life of the party and someone who could brighten anyone’s day, was found murdered. The two had always been close, so Derek took the loss hard.
