About Derrick Bradshaw









I’m Derrick Lee Bradshaw, Sr.—an entrepreneur, investor, and builder at heart. Over the years, I’ve launched and scaled multiple successful ventures in e-commerce, construction, and real estate investment, driven by a deep passion for ownership and long-term wealth.
My journey is rooted in hard work, integrity, and continuous growth. Whether I’m closing a property deal, launching a new brand, or advising a team, I bring the same commitment: build it right, build it strong, and build it to last.
But above all, I’m a family man. The work I do today is about building a legacy—for my family and for the communities I serve. This isn’t just business. It’s personal.

Founder Quality Home Locator
Founded in 2005, Quality Home Locator began as a turnkey real estate investment company—buying, renovating, and selling homes to investors and retail buyers. I led every phase of the process, from identifying properties and managing construction to helping clients secure financing.
Over time, we developed repeatable systems that have helped our clients achieve consistent, long-term returns of 15% or more. Today, Quality Home Locator continues to offer investment guidance, bid contracting, and streamlined project management—all built on the foundation of experience, results, and strategic growth.

I wanted The Hidden Lair to be more than a game store—it’s a growing hub for players, collectors, and community. I oversee everything from strategy and operations to digital growth, ensuring the store runs efficiently and stays ahead of the curve. We’re scaling fast and always leveling up.
