What Makes Me Tick
PersonalI am a transplant to Saint Louis from Jacksonville, FL where I was a Broker also. I spent 22 years in the corporate world as a Controller, Treasurer and Financial Analyst for large and midsize companies. I was always encouraged to work in sales and interior design because of my people skills and my "gift" for decorating. Art classes were my favorite in high school with business as a strong second. I graduated from Western Kentucky University with a degree in Accounting (my father made me do it!). I have been in real estate since 1994 and have really enjoyed working with my wonderful clients and look forward to many more years in this business. I am married to Rick who is a Civil Engineer, PE and is a Regional Manager for Insituform Technologies, Inc. and we have one son, Stephen, who lives in Chicago, graduated from DePaul University and is on an exciting career path in commercial real estate with Jones, Lange, LaSalle. We also enjoy our 3 beautiful Boxers - Otis, Lulu and Memphis and our rescued miniature Dachshund - Pele'. My favorite past times are decorating, entertaining friends, hanging out at our lake house in the summer time, traveling and most of all, spending time with our family and dogs.
