After 32 wonderful years in the mortgage industry, I left to start a 501c3 nonprofit to help people with intellectual and developmental disabilities become active participants in the communities where they live. Our primary focus is the Bloom Fitness effort, a wellness program for people with IDD. This uniquely effective program creates a place where this population can get a sense of belonging, develop pride and feel loved. Belonging to the Bloom Fitness community drives our athletes to engage in fitness with enthusiasm. We have 7 locations in Houston and 2 in Western North Carolina that offer indoor cycle, yoga classes, Pilates, and dance. Check out www.BloomFitness.org for more information. We also have the Bloom Community effort, that educates employers on the benefits of hiring people with IDD. I also started an real estate firm that focuses on income producing properties.
Listed skills include Mortgage Banking, Mortgage Lending, Loans, Sales, and 8 others.
