I was born in California but I grew up in Minot, North Dakota with just my mom and two sisters. It's a small town, in a quiet state. Long winters, short summers, but good people. Loyalty is simply the standard there, and no one ever seems too busy to help. I grew up in that, and now it's a part of me. It was the lack of sunny days that drove me back to California. But it wasn't long before I ended up in, even "sunnier" Arizona!
I've been living in Arizona now for almost 20 years, and it's been pretty good to me. I discovered I love to hike, I've been able to experience some great golf while working on my swing. My wife and I love to travel, and we have been able to take the children just about everywhere here in AZ. And even now, that they're grown, they still enjoy traveling with us.
When we find ourselves alone, or with a little free time on our hands we usually go wine tasting, shopping, or looking for new restaurants to try....but it's hard to turn down a good steakhouse!
I got into real estate because, I want to make a difference, a "real" difference. I want to help people find their first home, or their next home. I also want to help people sell their home when the time comes.
I remember the feeling of being a first time home buyer, and I want to be able to give that to others. I also remember the feeling when we sold our first home, and the experience we went through. I want to make sure that others have a wonderful selling experience; a smooth, easy, and seamless experience.
Arizona is a great state, with plenty of sun, lots to do and see. You can choose to live close to the mountains, or close to the lake. You can choose to live in the big city, or in a smaller family town. This, among others, is another good reason being a realtor in Arizona is so enjoyable!
