A Little About Me
I was raised in the northern Missouri area from Bethany to Cameron. I moved a lot as a kid. I attended public school until I went into the 5th grade, then started homeschooling. I had the benefit of being able to learn awesome skills like gardening, turning wrenches on our equipment, working construction laying flooring, and also working in a tree business my dad owned. I learned at a young age about a good work ethic. Do everything as if doing unto the Lord. I was self employed for a number of years laying floors and also working a tree business with my dad. I decided to work for a local company building utility equipment. I worked there for about 7 years - and I learned a TON. I wired equipment, mounted bodies on equipment, installed hydraulic components, then became a certified welder and welded for a number of years. The last job I did out there was selling parts and working over phone and email. I developed a lot of relationships with customers, and that was rewarding to me.
That combined with a childhood of going in and out of hundreds of homes led me to make the decision to start a career in real estate. I get to develop relationships as well as help people find homes! Providing support and developing relationships - that is my biggest reward.
I am a people person. I love talking and building relationships. I love to learn! If there is a question I don't know the answer to, I will find the answer. I love making people laugh. I am big on humor!
Fun facts - I was probably the shyest kid you would ever meet - not the case now.
I learned to breakdance as a kid for a STOMP program my homeschool group did! Breakdancing has now evolved into what I call "cripple dancing" as I grow older.
I love cooking!
