TACOMA, Wash., Jan. 15, 2019 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- GROUPIRA, INC. (GROUPIRA®), is delighted to sponsor PGA Tour Professional hopeful and a Web.com Tour Professional, Derek Barron. "Derek Barron epitomizes GROUPIRA®," said Co-Founder Yannis Koumantaros. "He is from Tacoma, Washington, grew up modestly, started golfing at age 17, and truly represents the 99% of us from main street."
Co-Founder Petros Koumantaros stated, "We look forward to Derek Barron making it in the PGA Tour -- representing GROUPIRA® and our community with his blue collar proudly displayed. Derek is a reminder to us that you need not come from means, nor start a chosen profession early. Through discipline, focus, and perseverance dreams can be made real."
GROUPIRA® will headline Derek Barron in a marketing campaign series of YouTube videos speaking to the 99% of main street Americans about saving for retirement. Under the trademark of "Just Earn It" he is promoting financial literacy to all Americans by encouraging "Extend Yourself" - a campaign focused on saving as much as you can, no matter how late in the savings cycle you may be. Derek started golfing 10+ years after the average PGA Professionals, worked every main street job imaginable - bartending, courier, construction, warehouse - and today plays Professional golf.
"I love everything about how I got to where I am today. GROUPIRA® is the only FinTech company whose ideology aligns with my journey, representing people exactly like me. I am proud to have them as my headline sponsor, and very proud to have opened my GROUPIRA® retirement account," remarked Derek. "Now I just need to choose an advisor from the ever-growing list to manage the next phase of my journey."
