Author Bio: I know Phoenix and especially the east valley cities of Mesa, Tempe, Chandler, Gilbert, Queen Creek and Scottsdale like the back of my hand. I grew up in the Dobson Ranch area of Mesa, AZ and went to college in St. Petersburg, FL. After college I moved back to Arizona to pursue business ownership and development with my knowledge gained while getting my BA in Business Management and participating in Eckerd College Search & Rescue (a leadership development program disguised as a maritime search and rescue program, the only one of its kind in the country).
I live in Gilbert, AZ near my parents and sister’s family. I started participating in triathlons late 2005, and completed the Arizona Ironman in 2007, when I am determined to do something, it gets done! I have not been competing since roughly 2012, instead I turned to practicing Sumits hot yoga, in Chandler 2-5 times per week. I like traveling with my son and girlfriend to experience other cultures as much as possible and see new places. I also enjoy scuba, poker, hiking, triathlon, gardening and spending time with our families and friends.
I am also an active volunteer in our local communities. I regularly serve with our brokerage at St. Mary’s Food bank usually packing and sorting food for emergency food boxes and during the Holiday season ringing the bells for Realtor Wednesdays with the Salvation Army. I regularly volunteer with Gardenpool.org to help with their builds, and have one of my own. And my schedule allows me to volunteer monthly in my son’s classroom and other school activities. Through my business and SEVRAR activities I also financially support the Care Fund, SEVRAR Critical Needs Fund, RAPAC, and other local organizations.
I have purchased, sold, lent on and/or been a Realtor on thousands of properties since 1998. I will find you what you are looking for and assist with getting the best price possible. My experience will allow me to assist with finding, buying, financing, repairing, and/or selling the property you desire.
