It is a privilege to welcome actor and fitness trainer Derek Yates to the Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast.  

Derek made waves when he joined the iconic Peacock soap opera Days of Our Lives as Kerry, a mysterious and magnetic new character who weaved his way into Leo Stark’s (Greg Rikkart) life. Fans can expect a rollercoaster of romance, intrigue, and plenty of drama on one of television’s longest-running soap operas.
 
In addition to spending time in Salem, Derek Yates has appeared on hit TV shows such as CSI: Vegas, How I Met Your Father, Minx, and The Rookie: Feds. His ability to bring nuance and depth to every role has earned him accolades, including awards for his work in Just Living: The Web Series.   Beyond the cameras, Derek is equally inspiring. As a certified personal trainer, he’s dedicated to helping clients set realistic and progressive health and fitness goals, encouraging gym consistency and sustainable habits. His passion for fitness mirrors his approach to acting—focused, disciplined, and driven by connection. This side of him resonates with fans and clients alike, making him a multifaceted figure in the entertainment world.  

 With a deep commitment to giving back, he often dedicates his time and energy to charitable initiatives that uplift communities and support those in need. He has worked closely with Project Angel Food, a nonprofit that delivers meals to critically ill individuals, embodying his passion for helping others lead healthier, more fulfilling lives. Beyond this, Derek actively supports various charities focusing on community empowerment and health advocacy.  

On this edition of The Jake’s Take with Jacob Elyachar Podcast, Derek Yates spoke about his experiences on CSI: Vegas and How I Met Your Father, shared Kerry’s story on Days of Our Lives, and his passion for fitness.
