About me

I live in Goodyear, AZ which is on the west side of Phoenix. The area has been a boom town for about the last 5 years. In 2003, I decided to get my Real Estate license so that I could partake in the boom, if just on a small scale. I also fly airplanes. I just retired from the Air Force Reserves after being a Fighter Pilot for about 21 years. I still fly for Southwest Airlines.

The hardest thing about Real Estate is the marketing. My background has been very cut and dry: here is the task, go accomplish it. I hate the hard sell in any purchasing situation and refuse to do it.

It is my opinion that the market will sell, or not sell, a house. There is only so much I can do to move a home. I do everything I can, but I will not stand on the corner and wave a sign saying "Come Buy This House!" There are better and more effective ways to market a home. Open House's are more for the Agent than the Seller. Sellers should imagine they are buyers and Buyers should imagine they are Sellers. Realtor's should not imagine anything other than having a satisfied client.

I'm 45, married with 2 kids and 2 dogs. I road bike to stay in shape for mountain biking. I have Cardinals season tickets and firmly believe we will be in the Super Bowl in 2008. I think Jim Rome is the best commentator in any media and America is the middle ground, extremism has no home in my world.
