Born in a U.S. Cavalry
fort in West Texas, I grew up in California. I am a proud veteran of 12
years with the US Air Force. I lived in Germany for over 23 years,
having been assigned there on active duty and later as a civilian
employee of the US Government. Along the way I gained an education and
hold the following academic credentials:
Associate’s Degree in
Real Estate and Business
Bachelor’s Degree in
Urban Studies
Master’s Degree in
Management
I am also a certified
college faculty lecturer on business subjects as well as an Investment
Seminar leader and speaker on matters relating to real estate. I have
been an NASD licensed Personal Investment Representative (Stock Broker
and Principal owner of a brokerage company). I brokered and managed over
$100 Million in real estate assets to include a Hilton hotel, medical
office buildings, apartment complexes, strip centers and a marina.
I have been a licensed
real estate professional since 1980; I have held broker’s licenses in
Utah, Wisconsin, Florida and now Tennessee. I have owned three and
managed four real estate brokerage companies, one of which was the
largest independently-owned company in Germany specializing in the
brokerage of large investment properties. I have personally brokered
approximately $25 Million in residential properties, many of which were
purchased by investors for whom I managed the properties.
I was one of five
co-founders of a software development company which designed and
developed the largest selling Windows-based contact management software
for real estate agents. Many of the large franchise companies now offer
a private label version of that application to their agents.
Re/Max Europe contracted
with me to go to Germany to market and sell their seven Master Regional
Franchises for that country which I accomplished in nine months
exceeding their goals for the year.
Most recently I was the
State Regional Director and VP of Franchise Sales for EXIT Realty
Florida where we sold 20 franchise offices in the first two years of
operation.
In summary, I have
widely-diversified experience in the business and profession of real
state brokerage management and sales.
