I grew up in the Mid-west, but have been living in Southern California for almost 7 years now.  California is a great place to be.  There is enless opportunity and the weather is unbeatable.  When I am not doing Real Estate I work part time at an emergency and referral hospital for animals.  I am a veterinary technician, which is, essentially, a "pet nurse".  We primarily care for cats and dogs, but also see big cats (lions and tigers) from sanctuaries and zoos.  I love medicine and feel that helping animals is a great way to also help people.  I know how important animals can be because I have a dog and a cat that bring me a lot of happiness.   The best part of every day for me is hiking with my dog.  I enjoy a healthy lifestyle, travel, sports, and being surrounded by good people.  I am constantly excited about the future.  What will set me apart from other agents is my genuine interest in your needs.  A lot of agents are desperate for "a sale".  I am interested in building lasting relationships by helping you meet all your needs.
