I have lived in Southeast Michigan and Northwest Ohio all my life. I have
been a licensed REALTOR since 1978 and have worked in the industry full time
since 1995. The areas surrounding the Irish Hills are among the most
beautiful anywhere, and my love for the lakes and farms is best illustrated
through my business. I have been the number one agent in my company since
1996, and am the top agent in lakefront sales in both Jackson and Lenawee
Counties.* I am involved with my clients personally and am always thrilled
to be part of the realization of their dreams. My dream is to help people
and I believe that dreams are chain reactions, so I put my success to work
in my community. With every one of my transactions, I support Children's
Miracle Network in Southern Michigan. This year I also worked to raise money
for the Komen Race for the Cure to help fund breast cancer research.
Additionally, I work with my church to raise money for our sister church in
Uganda, Africa. I look forward to doing business with you - and for you.
