After 4 years of college and then basic training with the US Army Reserve, I entered the business world as a loan counselor for a Savings & Loan company. I reviewed real estate loan requests and also worked in the appraisal department. In 1973, I was enticed into the construction business and learned how to build houses in the Palm Springs area. When I arrived in Ventura in September 1974, I decided that it was time to follow in the footsteps of my 2 grandmothers, who were successful real estate brokers. I have been listing & selling properties in Ventura County for 50 years and couldn't be happier with my choice or career paths. I have met some really interesting people, and many of them have become loyal clients & friends.
