Basic information
Background:
Sales/Business Development
I was Born in Monterey, California
But I was raised in a small farming town in Washington State
Not being one for tradition, I chose to forgo college out of high school
And in 1994 at the age of 20, I became a licensed realtor for ERA Real Estate in Vancouver, Washington
I took to sales like a fish to water and by 1997 I was closing just over 8 million a year in transactions. Not bad for a farm boy!
Shortly after 911, I made a huge life decision to serve my country
I served as a Army Cadre instructor for the 15th
Cavalry Division at Fort Knox Kentucky where I was responsible for the medical and financial well being of over 800 new soldiers
After a successful three
year tour of duty with the
U.S Army, it was time to get educated
My academic journey began in Lexington,
Kentucky studying Biology
In 2007 I took a summer long road trip to Seattle to transfer to the University of Washington
On the way I spent a week in the Napa Valley
