Raised by good farm folks and being the middle of 8 sisters and 5 brothers, a big farming family where everyone participated, I learned a work ethic which has benefited me, my family, friends, colleagues and clients. 

I married the love of my life , Tom Solem when I was just a girl.  We were married in 1959.  We raised 4 wonderful children and now are proud grandparents of 8 grands and 3 great grands with a 4th to be born in 2008. 

I love this great Nation and I serve my God and this Country with all my heart and soul.  We are so fortunate to live in this beautiful Country and even more so to be amoung the fortunate few who live in the north west.  I have spent 52 years of my life in the great north west and truly believe there is not a greater place to live in the world. 

When I am not working I love hanging out with my family.  I also enjoy traveling abroad, reading, hiking, playing with children and visiting the elderly, wildlife, pets, good movies, studying the Word of God and engaging in good one on one conversations.

I not only sell real estate, I own it.  I love working with numbers and making money work for me.  i enjoy helping others by sharing my knowledge with them.   I really enjoy people.
