Who is Derek Kesseler?

Derek will be one of the suitors vying for Nicole's heart on the show. Kesseler is a digital marketing manager based in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada. He is an adventure seeker who is constantly seeking new places to visit. He enjoys doing new things that take him out of his comfort zone, and he feels that spontaneity is the best way to live. He likes being outside in nature and enjoys hiking, golfing, photography, and camping in the Canadian Rockies. He's also a voracious reader who enjoys listening to podcasts that teach him something new.

He's ready to meet someone who is as enthusiastic about life as he is. Derek spent his childhood in small-town Beaumont, Alberta, spending his winters on the ice and his summers on the golf course. Beaumont is a small town just south of the capital city Edmonton. He used to work in Alberta's construction and oil industries, and he despised it. He has established his own business and has lately created his own media company. Kesseler has participated in the reality TV show Big Brother Canada and had made it to the final three. 



 

He's perfected his culinary techniques and is ready to wow a date with his Canadian cuisine and small-town charm. Derek is beyond ecstatic to delve deeply into this love adventure. He's also a fashion and lifestyle blogger who gives fashion advice to people and help them get closer to the life they wish to live. Knowing that this man has some of the greatest fashion taste, we can only hope that he'll be able to pull off some dressed to the nines Regency attire.
