I have been in the real estate business since 1977.  I just completed 29.5 years with Century 21 Sketchbook in Cary and truly thought I would retire from there but found an opportunity at Coldwell Banker Primus that was just too good to pass up. I have been in the real estate education field for 24 years working with both pre-license education and continuing education programs. I was  recently invited to join Coldwell Banker Primus as their director of pre-license education for their Northern Illinois division. This new position puts me in charge of scheduling and conducting the pre-license training program in 5 of their offices using contract instructors or teaching myself as many classes as I choose.  I retained the right to do continuing education on my own and have been teaming up with the Institute for Continuing Education in conducting the new Broker Management classes throughout the state of Illinois.

 I am an active member of the McHenry County Assiciation of Realtors. I was honored by that organization in 1988 by being named "Realtor Associate of the Year" and in 1992 served as its President. More recently I have served on the Building Committee, the Education Committee and the Past President's Committee.

I am a past president of the Cary Grove Jaycees and was honored by being awarded a Senatorship by that organization. I was also a charter member of the Kiwanis Club of Cary Grove.

 I am a graduate of Northern Illinois University with a degree in Political Science and graduated from Sullivan High School in Chicago.
