Originally from North Carolina, I have traveled in all 50 states and a handful of other countries.  After graduating from Macalester College in St. Paul, MN, I spent four years in the US Air Force as a survival instructor.  While stationed at Fairchild AFB near Spokane, I earned a degree in education and built a home near Orient, WA.  Well, ok, it was a log cabin with an outhouse, wood stove and kerosene lamps. 

I taught school in the town of Orient for three years and eventually moved to White Salmon, WA where I taught for three more years.  Eventually I moved to Vancouver and taught high school social studies for ten years.  That included a one-year exchange with a teacher from Australia and a three week cultural exchange to Japan.

I am  now a managing broker for a real estate office in Bingen, Wa.  I am  licensed in Oregon and include most of the mid-Columbia Gorge in my sales region.  I am a Washington state director representing our local association and I am on the Professional Standards review committee for the local association.  I have earned the GRI, CRS, CRBM, ABR and CNE designations.  I am also certified to teach real estate classes in Washington and enjoy traveling and meeting agents all over the state.
