Darol spent eleven years teaching history and coaching, mostly at Shawnee Mission West High School, in Overland Park, Kansas. He coached his wrestling team to state championships at West. Before and after his school duties, he started building houses in 1974, building over 800 houses. He eventually moved into development and founded Rodrock Development. Rodrock Development has built more than 70 Johnson County, Kansas new-home communities and over 25,000 people call a Rodrock Community home. Darol’s passion has been developing communities where families experience small town closeness by enjoying neighborhood amenities such as pools, walking trails and events through the Moms Councils. The Moms Council was created through Darol’s keen interest creating an environment focused on family events. The last 35 years he has also pursued his first love: the horses of Rodrock Ranches in Bucyrus, Kansas. He has competed in Western Pleasure, winning the most prestigious Quarter Horse Show, the Quarter Horse Congress. He has also competed in cutting events and placed third out of 290 entrants in the All-American Cutting Futurity. While riding horses and fishing are his pastimes, Darol is committed to fulfilling the needs of and building the best communities for the residents of Johnson County.
