Person who influenced me the most & why: The person (people) who have influenced me the most were/are my parents.  Although growing up I often said I would do things differently I found that as I matured my basic foundation of decision making and views of life were those that my parents instilled in me at a young age.  I lost my father over 20 years ago and not a day goes by that I don't think of him.  My Mother recently turned 90 and is still teaching me everyday how to live life graciously with courage and dignity.

Favorite Vacation Spot: My favorite vacation place is Rouge Beach in St. Maarten. A somewhat secluded beach, crescent shaped with white sand, deep red cliffs, caves cut into the sea, and clear turquoise water. It is a peaceful place, natural and beautiful, it makes me smile just to think of it!

Business Motto: My Business Motto as it would pertain to Real Estate is "There is a lid for every pot." Early in my Real Estate career I listed a home of an acquittance that backed up to a major highway. Even the Seller said "Who would want to live here with that in my back yard?" Well, not too long after the house was listed it sold to a truck driver. The highway noise was music to his ears! So, it just goes to show you that we live in a diverse world, if we all liked the same thing it would be a very dull existence.

Hobbies & Interest: I enjoy are golf, although I must really work at it, and spending time outdoors with my Yellow Lab, Sunshine. I am a lover of animals and nature, so long walks in the park, along the Little Lehigh, hold hours of fascination of how truly fabulous mother nature is.

Family Time: Family time is the best time! I am blessed to have a wonderful extended family.  I married the love of my life at 30, and my home suddenly had three children!  We eventually added one more who is now off to college, so for the first time in years we are empty nesters. We also have two grandsons that live in California but are fortunate that they are able to come for extended summer vacations, spending five weeks with us in Pennsylvania, culminating with a week at the Jersey shore. Everyone always comes home for Thanksgiving, we spend it with our close friends whose children have grown up with ours, the house is alive with love and lots of activity. 

Best Quality: I believe my best quality is my easy going nature.
