Personal Background

Born in Ohio, then on to New York, Florida, and eventually landing in Michigan. (for the past 33+ years!)

My educational background started at the United States Military Academy in West Point, NY, then on to the University of Florida for my Bachelor of Science Degree, then to Central Michigan University for graduate school classes.  In between, I was taking Real Estate classes and getting started in the work that I learned to love...both in Florida and Michigan.

I have been the #1 Realtor in the #1 office in our tri-county area for 9 of the past 11 years.  Prior to this I was the Broker/ Owner of my own 25 agent office, for over 22 years ('North Country Real Estate/ Better Homes & Gardens').  Then, 11 years ago, I merged my company with 'Coldwell Banker Schmidt' so that I could devote my time to doing what I love...helping people buy and sell the biggest personal investment they will ever make... their home!  I also service many commercial listings and vacant land parcels.  That is why I have adopted the motto... "The Product is Real Estate... The PRIORITY is Service".
