Your real estate transaction is a very big deal - both to you and to me.  Generally your home is your largest asset, and I'm here to protect it.  I was raised in a real estate family -- so, you could say I was born to do this.  That said, my path to a full-time career in real estate provides me with qualifications that are unique:

During my last year at the University of Texas and a few years after graduation, I was a television news producer and occasional personality for NBC in Austin.  From this, I learned the art of being decisive when time is of the essence.  I also learned what an incredible responsibility it is to provide information that people can trust. 

In 90s, I was president and CEO of thePerk.com - an online estate coffee exchange that connected disparate estates in Hawaii and elsewhere with consumers and businesses.  From this I learned how to raise money to support a staff and negotiate the very different goals of estate growers and farmers to those of the corporate buyer and consumer creating a win/win for all. 

Lastly, I was general manager of a global top 5 marketing firm in Austin.  During my tenure, I won the agency's Individual Excellence Award.  From this experience I learned many things: balance, the art of highly intelligent marketing (the company's founders are among the most well regarded in the business), and management under times of stress.  

In 2005, I was honored by the Williamson County Association of Realtors as being selected as their Marketing Chair - and nominated among their Realtors of the Year.  Additionally, I have been asked to serve on our Associate Leadership Council (market center board) for Keller Williams Round Rock for 2007.
