I wanted to design so I got my undergraduate degree in Mechanical Engineering. I then started my own consulting/design firm to help companies streamline their manufacturing processes with automation. As my skills progressed I realized I enjoyed the problem-solving phases more than the delivery phases, so I moved into marketing and sales. I needed more tools so I got my MBA in Finance and Marketing. I lived in Europe for four years investigating new technologies for US companies. When I returned I entered the wireless data market at its beginning and ran sales teams for high tech products, calling on CEO's and executives. It was here I learned the most about demanding clients and how to partner with them to solve problems for them and their clients. Those skills help me bring a different perspective to real estate than most other realtors have, which I believe helps me compete and perform at a high level.
