Work Experience: My life in sales began once I realized that an office job wasn't my life's calling. I needed more personal interaction and found it by making a career change to outside sales.  Thirty years later, one-third of which has been in real estate sales, I still love meeting new people, assisting them with possibly the biggest investment they may make in their lifetime and being there for them, every step of the way.

Why I'm in real estate: This job offers the best of all worlds in terms of outside sales, freedom to set your own schedule, independence and the opportunity to make a good living while doing right by others in an ever changing and challenging business environment.

Education: My education includes a Bachelor's Degree from Northeastern Oklahoma State University where I double majored in Business Administration and Economics and obtained a minor in Psychology.  Post graduate work included courses at the University of Texas at Dallas and UCLA for Computer Science and Systems Analysis & Design credits.  It's always been my regret that I didn't complete my MBA at one of those fine schools.

Sports Teams: It seemed like a fair tradeoff to become a Philly’s and Eagles fan upon moving here from San Diego, especially after watching the Chargers and Padres suffer through many bad seasons. Now that all four teams are playing better ball and I have a real conflict when a Philadelphia team plays a San Diego team.  Thank heavens San Diego doesn't have professional hockey or basketball.

Where I have lived: I consider the Lehigh Valley to be one of the most beautiful places I've lived even when compared to San Diego.  You can’t compare the Valley to the West Coast as they are so different and beautiful in their own way.  I find the Valley's change of seasons very exciting, especially after living with Spring and Summer only for so many years.  I know I may be alone on this issue.  Other places I've lived include Las Vegas, New Mexico - Tulsa, Oklahoma, Dallas, Texas - Manhattan - Ridgefield, Connecticut and Los Angeles, CA.
