I started off my working career as a teacher, which I enjoyed, but, decided that I wanted to leave and gain some non-academic experience before returning to teaching. I chanced upon a career in real estate after returning from a long trip to Europe and ended up teaching within the industry and later managing real estate offices. I returned to selling in 1992 and have enjoyed the direct contact with the buying and selling public. What I came to realize, shortly after joining the industry, was that a knowledgeable, caring salesperson can be the key to a buying public's enjoyment in making a move. Now, after over 50 years, I do the business a bit differently. Past clients and referalls, are the main source of business. Most of my clients are business people; men and women who either own their own companies or are executives with a lot of experience as well. I also found that my business partner, Dawn Bennett, is a perfect fit for how we want to conduct ourselves. She's a great detailist and I come with a long history of clients. I still find time for my love of photography and hiking with my dog as well as golf and Dawn has provided a bit of freedom for me to enjoy those activities more.
