About Me
I suppose every “good” blog begins with telling its readers a little about the writer. I will try to make my introduction short, but at the same time hopefully give you a feel for who I am.
I was born in Phoenix, Arizona and at the age of twelve my family moved to California. My family, consisting of my Dad, Mom and two brothers, lived in various places in California over the years and before leaving for college my home was in Hollister. While attending college in Southern California, my parents moved from Hollister to the Monterey Peninsula.
After two years of college I moved back home which was now in Pacific Grove. Along the way I met, in Lake Tahoe, my husband Dana. We married a couple years after meeting and have been residents of the Peninsula for over 30 years. We own and operate two businesses. One business is landscape/maintenance and the other is web design. We have two daughters. Elizabeth is a first grade teacher and Jordana is the designer of
The Knitter's Purse.
My priorities are family, church, community and my Real Estate business. I am a wife, mother, professional volunteer and Realtor. I am a firm believer that if one has his/her priorities right, everything else in life falls into place.
My community is a priority and the children that live here are very important. Extending the hand of warmth and love to a child is a major part of my life. In October 2001, I became the coordinator for and established “
Project Linus Monterey Bay”. Nothing moves my heart quite like looking in the eyes of a child in pain. I chose to become involved with Project Linus because I believe it is an organization that not only brings a sense of security, warmth and comfort to a child who is hurting, but it brings individuals and groups in our community together for the benefit of children.
My work is Real Estate and I have a passion for it. To some this seems crazy, because when was the last time a favorable movie, sitcom or article was written about the world of Real Estate? If Realtors do appear in a story they are, to my knowledge, never shown to be principled, hard working or diligent. But, nothing could be further from the truth. In order to have a successful Real Estate business, one must build it based on principles. This is a business that is rewarding both financially and emotionally. The passion for me comes from meeting or exceeding the goals of the client and then and only then being compensated for helping the client meet his/her goal.
I look forward to sharing with all my knowledge and passion for Real Estate and my other passions.
