How long with Realty Northwest:
Since 1999, one of the founding fathers.

What I like best about working at Realty Northwest:
Looking at dirt & groovy homes, photos and working with a great bunch of people that I think of as family. Great Realty Northwest Parties------party on!

Favorite Realty Northwest moment:
2007 party at Ro and Steve's that rocked, I only wish everyone had been there. Thanks Ro!

What I like to do when I'm not working:
What ---- what do you mean? Where? When is that? That phrase 'not working' vaguely rings a bell. Can anyone help me out here?

What I like most about living in Montana:
Mountains, rivers, wildlife, National Forests. Feeling like you are on the top of the world after hiking a mountain and looking down at the breathtaking views. Seeing a whole new echo system when exploring creek bottoms in shady areas. The groovy lakes in the mountains that you can hike into. Antler hunting in the late winter and spring. I could go on forever!

My favorite Montana memory:
Riding my dirt bike on remote forest service roads or trails by myself, seeing wildlife, great scenery and feeling like I am the luckiest person alive to live and play here.

My favorite Montana photo:
I see this awesome view every morning when I wake up. The first thing I do when I wake up, is say hi to all 'my' ducks and geese. (I have them all named.)

Defining moments in my life:
1. When my children were born, and 2. A time in my mid thirties that I realized that I had lived to the age I was, thought I knew so much and realized how little I did know about everything including life. I suddenly thought I must be as unaware as a Monkey. (Sorry Monkey)

Where I see myself 20 years from now:
Playing in the woods.

Who I look up to and/or admire:
All the awesome folks who have reached their senior years, and have gained the insights that can only come from experience. The knowledge they possess is a largely untapped resource that we could all benefit from.

If I had the resources and ability to change anything in the world.?
It would be to figure out how to make all people in the entire world to learn to get along, love and respect each other regardless of who we are, what we believe in and the color of our skin. It hurts me to see so much hate and strife in the world when we are all the same.

My favorite author(s):
Tina and Ro, I would love to be able to express myself as they can.

Favorite Book:
Gone with the wind, the book that I read when I was 21 years old. I just loved it!! #2 is Lonesome Dove

3:"Many wealthy people are little more than janitors of their possessions."- Frank Lloyd Wright (1868-1959)

Favorite musical artist(s):
