His bio is: A 1998 graduate of Antwerp High School, I bring 25 plus years of experience in the manufacturing industry. Throughout my career, I’ve completed multiple machining apprenticeships and participated in numerous leadership conventions, sharpening both my technical knowledge and ability to lead effectively.

I’ve always been an advocate for working people, and that passion has naturally led me to pursue village council. I believe in honest, transparent leadership and in making decisions that put the needs of the community first. My focus on collaboration, fairness, and long-term solutions aligns with the values I bring to my new role on the village council.

A lifelong supporter of Philadelphia sports, (GO PHILLIES & GO BIRDS!!) Most importantly I enjoy spending time with my wife and our three children. I’m honored to serve our community and look forward to helping move our village forward with integrity and dedication.

Derek Demongeot is an Antwerp native, graduating Antwerp Local School in 2010 and residing full time in the village since 2013. When not hard at work downtown at H2O Water Stores, he likes to spend time at home with his two dogs and cat.

It is a privilege to have the unique experience of not only living in Antwerp but also working here.

It’s the home that many of us share and it is his hope to help shape it for the betterment of future generations.
