Derema Group Bolsters Central Region Team
Derema Group announced that Brady Fitzke has joined the company as of Oct. 1, representing the Central Region with responsibility for Michigan and portions of Ontario, Canada. Fitzke will report to Matt Havlik, central region business manager, and will work closely with Bob Durkee and Kerry Davis to support Michigan OEM accounts.

Fitzke brings a unique blend of financial analysis, inventory control and business management experience, having worked in both behind-the-scenes operations and customer-facing roles. Known for his sharp attention to detail and collaborative problem-solving, Fitzke has built a reputation for bridging the gap between numbers and relationships — skills that will be invaluable as he helps strengthen Derema’s partnerships and drive growth in his territory.
“Brady’s background makes him a great fit for our team,” said Kurt Forsman, president of Derema Group. “He understands the importance of data, but he also knows how to connect with people. That combination will serve our suppliers and customers well as he helps us continue to grow in Michigan and Ontario.”
When he’s not working, Fitzke is at his best outdoors. He’s an avid skier, hiker and golfer, and rarely passes up a chance to explore Michigan’s lakes and forests. He especially enjoys time on the water, whether boating, fishing or exploring Michigan’s many inland lakes and rivers. Whether on the slopes, the trails, the water or out walking his dog, Fitzke brings the same energy and enthusiasm that he carries into his professional life.
