Derick Childers grew up in Conway
When Derick Childers commenced his duties as Missouri Department of Conservation agent for Dallas County on Dec. 1, he was returning to an area he knows well. A native of Conway, which is just across the county line in Laclede County, Childers spent much of his free time hunting and fishing in the area he now patrols.
In his new duties, Childers will work alongside fellow Dallas County Conservation Agent Ryan Wood. Childers is a graduate of Conway High School and Missouri Southern State University. Prior to coming to MDC, he served in the U.S. Army and was deployed for a time in Kandahar Province, Afghanistan.

She is 22 and from Los Angeles – Korean father, American mother.
