About Kate

By
Services for Real Estate Pros

 

Hello everyone.  I joined the Active Rain team in July of this year. I am so excited to be part of this extraordinary community. It is heart warming to see how people in Active Rain, care, connect and communicate. 

My background is in business to business sales. I have worked in commercial credit, software as a solution in the information industry, education and now Active Rain.  I was born, raised and schooled in England.  I moved to the States 16 years ago. 

I have lived on the east coast in Pennsylvania and New Jersey, the west coast in Arizona, Oregon, California and most recently Seattle, Washington.  I live in Queen Anne is Seattle, it is a neat little urban village which retains its  own character despite being part of urban Seattle. 

My passion outside of my work, my children and my dogs is crossfit.  If anyone is interested visit: www.crossfit.com for more information about the fitness community

What folks don't know about me is i have a ridiculously sweet tooth and have been known to seriously over indulge in chocolate and sweet things (hence the need for the aggressive crossfit workout). Observe, the chocolate sunday that took up an entire dinner plate, that i demolished all on my own!

HI Kate, welcome to the Active Rain family, and truly, that is what it feels like, unlike any social network community out there.  Been to Seattle several times and  Queen Anne is a quaint little retreat right there in Seattle.  Glad your enjoying it.

Welcome Kate to ActiveRain.  My wife grew up on Queen Anne and attended QA High School.  The school  closed in 1981 and was converted into residential apartments in 1986.  I'm sure you've already been to Pikes Place Market?
