Saying Goodbye To Hailey Owens I've lived in Springfield Missouri since the early 1980's and last week a young girl named Hailey Owens was abducted, killed and found within a short time.   I remember the amber alert going off on my cell phone around 7:00 PM as I was leaving my office and thinking, oh no!  Another child has gone missing. Little did I know at that time she had been missing for several hours. Over the past week, the entire city has come together to pay tribute to this wonderful little girl.  Over 10,000 met on Saturday for a candlelight vigil.  On Sunday, over 1600 motorcycles merged on Springfield for a ride to raise money for Hailey. Today she is being laid to rest.  Hopefully, her killer will be swiftly brought to justice.  Nothing will bring Hailey back, but families w... 02/26/2014

Many times people ask who is the best Realtor in Springfield MO. and naturally I tell them "I am".  What really defines "the best".  Is it hair, dress, car or how many times they have seen your sign?  Often I hear "well I have seen a lot of those signs  and they drive a nice car so they must be good".  In my opinion this could not be farther from the truth.  So what defines "the best" Realtor?  If I had to sum it up into one word it would be "Passion".  If you have passion for something everything else will fall into place.  I remember when I was just out of college I was asking my boss "how do I get where your at?".  Climbing the corporate latter, being successful and making a good living.  He told me those very words, "Do what you have passion for and everything else will fall into pl... 01/22/2014
