About Derrick

Hi there! I’m Derrick, a Chico-based Realtor who loves serving people and helping them feel right at home in our community. Christmas has always held a special place in my heart. As a Christian, I cherish this season as a celebration of the birth of Jesus. And growing up, I fell in love with Christmas even more while helping my grandma plan and decorate for the holidays. Those moments are some of my favorite memories, filled with warmth, laughter, and the kind of joy that stays with you for a lifetime.

Creating this Christmas lights map is my way of sharing that joy with others and giving back to a community I care deeply about. My hope is that it helps families make memories of their own, discover new favorite traditions, and enjoy the beauty of Chico during the most magical time of the year.

Merry Christmas, and happy light hunting! 🎄✨
