A little about me includes sports, education, and now, real estate. Growing up, I was a successful competitive swimmer. At CMU I received a Bachelor in Science. While focusing my studies on health and biology with an interest in criminal justice, I worked in crime labs, private investigating, and a few other occupations before finding my place in real estate - an occupation that seemed to fit like a glove. Still passionate about my sport after years of swimming, I begin many days in the water. Swimming has given me the direction, inspiration and motivation necessary to build my real estate business. It was the lessons I learned in the pool that helped me make a splash when I entered the real estate profession, and they have kept me several lengths ahead of the pack ever since. As I became acquainted with how the business worked, I right away noticed a similarity between the work ethic required succeeding in swimming and that needed to build a successful real estate business. No one drops their time in swimming without a lot of practice. I equated that to business; being out there in the world meeting people and talking about the business is my practice. I am not afraid to do the tough stuff! For me, the theme behind my business is the Golden Rule. It is about doing the right things for the right reasons. The difference between assertiveness and aggression and ultimately, between success and failure comes down to a sincere concern for others.
