HELLO, I’M

DEREK CRONIN

Following our passion for the Arts, Sustainable Living, and the Great Outdoors, my wife, Bronwyn, and I relocated to Asheville, NC in 2007 as newlyweds. Over the last decade we’ve lived in several amazing towns across Western North Carolina, but we ultimately found a slice of paradise just northwest of Greenville, SC.

In addition to being my best friend, Bronwyn is the lead vocalist of her band Jazzville, a composer, voice instructor, and published children’s author!

Our two energetic and loquacious children keep us hustling. My daughter and I share a passion for volleyball and board games, whereas my son and I prefer to be on wheels, whether mountain bike or rollerblades, when he’s not up in a tree.

At any given moment you may find us hunting for waterfalls, playing pickleball, or whipping up a family meal in the kitchen à la Chef Ramsay!

As the founder of Repair Shop Payments, I bring over two decades of experience in merchant services and payment optimization. My goal is simple: to advocate for independent auto repair shop owners, helping you reduce costs, streamline operations, and focus on what you do best—serving your customers.

Whether it's implementing compliant cash discount programs, optimizing for B2B savings, or providing personalized support every step of the way, I'm committed to your shop's success. I'm always just a phone call or email away.
