My Backstory:
I was born and raised in Eden Prairie, MN, where most of my family still lives. After leaving Eden Prairie, I earned a B.S. in Economics from the University of Wisconsin-Madison.
After college, I spent a year working and skiing in Park City, UT. A year of trying to get by on minimum wage in a ski town was enough to convince me to start my career. I spent a year in Philadelphia, and another 8 years in Chicago, where I got my start in sales, first in the textile industry, then in television advertising. After 15 or so years of living outside of Minnesota, I was ready to move home.
I entered into real estate shortly after returning to Minnesota in 2003. It felt like my destiny. My father was a commercial/industrial Realtor for most of my life, and my oldest sister, Kathy, had become a residential Realtor a few years earlier. My aunt and uncle have been in residential real estate since the late 70's, as well. After speaking with the Realtors in the family, and exploring this career path more thoroughly, I realized that this would be a great fit for me.
