Kansas City Area Real Estate
Born and raised on a farm in southeast Kansas, I learned the value of a strong work ethic early in life. I pride myself on being ethical and honest, approaching all endeavors with integrity and common sense, my word is my bond. I have a genuine, vested interest in finding the right homes for buyers and getting top dollar for my sellers, period. If it's important to you, it's important to me, the art of customer service is not lost on me.
The first 27 years of my professional career included corporate marketing, sales, economic development, and project management, travelling an average of 250 days per year. Although being a road warrior had its perks, marriage and the birth of my daughter in 2008 forced me to reconsider my jet setting ways.
I've been afforded many unique opportunities: Educating the Texas legislature about biofuels, attending the inauguration and inaugural ball of George W. Bush, serving as a founding board member of the Association of Ethanol Producers, and last but certainly not least, bringing Kansas University and Kansas State University to the table for amicable negotiations on funding for a center of excellence.
