About Me
Real Estate is my third, and most loved career. I have been a full time Realtor in good standing since Feb of 2005, with over 1000 sales. I have spent the last nine years with ViewPoint. Some related service includes:
- Serving as member of NSREC Complaint review committee for two terms
- Currently serving as member of NSREC Licensing Committee
- Served as an initial member of NSAR mentoring program
- Served as member of NSAR forms committee
Previous to Real estate I taught Xerox basic sales school for several years.
And previous to that I was in management with a mortgage lending company for several years.
However, my wish is that I had gotten into Real Estate sooner as it is where I belong.
I would welcome the privilege to be able to give back to our industry by serving and contributing to this board.

About Me
With a career spanning back to 2004 when I became licensed as a Salesperson, my journey in real estate has been both extensive and diverse - sometimes maybe even “exciting”. In 2010 I obtained my Broker’s license, and since then have overseen thousands of transactions across residential, multi-unit, commercial, and leasing domains. As much as sometimes I feel I’ve seen it all, I know now that this will never be the case. In light of that I feel I have a very well rounded understanding of our industry and the challenges we face daily.
While I have actively contributed to numerous industry-related committees and topics over the years, the people I’ve met and relationships I have established are what keeps me interested. I have a large respect for my peers in the industry and genuinely enjoy working with others to address challenges within our industry – also recognizing the work there isn’t done :) Our industry is great but it’s not perfect.
Outside of my real estate life, I enjoy spending time with my 9 year old son – coaching hockey with BDMHA, and baseball with LWF. I enjoy the outdoors, whether that is camping, cycling, backpacking, or canoeing—any activity that promises fresh air and serenity captivates my spirit, anywhere that does not have cell service is relaxing to me.
This Board position with NSREC is important to me. It’s something I’ve intended on doing for quite some time (thanks for the nudges over the years) and look forward to listening and contributing.

About Me
Thank you for taking the time to read my bio. For those of you who may not know me, I have been a licensed salesperson for 21 years. I have volunteered on a number of committees with both NSAR and NSREC, including chairing or serving on Licensing, Education, and Discipline Committees, and am a past president of NSAR.
I am seeking a second term for the Board of Directors. I am very passionate about the Industry and am always seeking ideas and ways to improve our Industry.
I have been an advocate for the need of a new salesperson licensing course and finally this year a new course will be rolled out. For years I have expressed concerns regarding the brokerage audit process and was happy when it was changed, however it quickly became clear that the new process was flawed and needed revisions. These revisions should be rolled out shortly. I have been advocating that once these revisions are in place that not only brokers need to be advised, but so should all salespeople. Having this information should allow salespeople to be better able to serve the consumer, instead of spending time worrying about if the paperwork is compliant for the audit process. Finally there is a review of forms taking place and one particular form, Form 408, needs to be looked at. Although I support the concept of this form, there are a lot of questions and discrepancies within the Industry which has caused a lot of stress which is not good for the consumer. I believe that because NSREC introduced Form 408 and because of the significant ramifications that can result from this form, it’s there responsibility to make sure the Form and it’s use is clear and I will promise as long as I am on the Board I will continue to advocate for this.
