In today’s world where we are all moving so fast, it can be hard to make connections and get to know people. That is why I wrote this list. If you are here you may be considering hiring me to assist you with the purchase or sale of your home. Through that process I get to know so much about my clients that I think it’s only fair you get to know about me. By knowing more about me you have the chance to know if we may a be a good fit to work together. You may find we have much in common or only a few things. However, I find it’s a good ice breaker for many people as they are not inviting a stranger into their home and assist them with one of the largest transactions of their lives.

Without further delay:

I’ve traveled to Nicaragua when I was in my earlier teens on a mission trip with my church to establish a sister parish with a small town two hours outside Managua.
I’m a total dog person. I don’t get cats...at all.
I was the Prom King. Got to keep the crown and everything! LOL!
I traveled to Fiji and spent 10 days there. I didn’t do my research first and didn’t realize they don’t have sandy beaches!! It’s all rock!!
When I was younger I used to love to fly, even enjoyed turbulence!! Now, as an adult and aware of my mortality I am not a fan of flying at all!!
My first job was working at the Gap when I was 16. The Gap was cool back then!
For a short two weeks, I worked at Starbucks, and I didn’t understand what the different drinks were so I made the same drink for everyone!!
I have psoriasis and I wouldn’t wish it on my worst enemy...and no it’s not contagious, you cannot catch it, it just gives me dry skin patches on my hands.
Once I pushed open a swinging door and didn’t realize anyone was on the other side. I ended up hitting Tony Robbins with the door!! He is very tall and I was instantly intimidated!
When I was 16 I had the chance to do achieve one of my biggest goals. I got to SCUBA dive the Great Barrier Reef in Australia
Once my best friend and I got lost in the Capitol building in Washington DC and we stumbled upon the train that runs between the capital and the offices of the representatives.
During college, I was president of my fraternity, Alpha Chi Rho.
My favorite ice cream is Blue Bell Vanilla and Strawberries but I cannot stand Blue Bell Strawberry ice cream!! Weird I know.
I’m one of the few people who love the cold weather and everything that goes with it, sweaters, comfort food, skiing, etc.
My dad was in the Army and I was born in Germany when my parents were stationed there.
I have been all over Europe but I don’t remember it because I was too young!
My first car was a Volkswagen Jetta...and it was a 5-speed manual transmission. I miss driving a manual transmission car.
I had a Jeep Wrangler. It was a 5 speed also and my favorite car I’ve ever owned.
I keep change in my car to give to the homeless people
I have a VERY foul mouth! I would make a sailor blush! However, I don’t curse in front of my clients.
My birthday is Christmas Day
Growing up I wanted to be a vet or a lawyer
My best friend and I have been friends since the 6th grade
I still have a pen pal from when I when to camp as a kid. We still send each other cards every year. It has been almost 27 years we have been writing each other.
