I’m not sure how you arrived here, by chance or on purpose but now that you are here take a moment and browse my site.  If you haven’t realized, this is the personal website of Derrick Smith, otherwise known as “D-Rock”.  Maybe you’re here to learn more about me or my 1972 Bronco frame-off restore.  Or maybe you’re here to learn more about my old Victorian House.  Whatever the reason, feel free to browse around, check out my resume or the picture gallery or contact me if you have any questions.

Other than that, this site is a place for me to dump my thoughts.  You’ll find random posts about various things that interest me.  Maybe they’ll interest you too!  If you like something you read, please comment, like on Facebook or Tweet about it.  Above all, enjoy your visit here and return periodically to see my updates.
