Born in Missoula and lived in Montana most of my life. Graduated with both a BA and MA in education and taught for 13 years in Montana. First got my real estate license in 1983 with McCallum Realty in Plains but really didn't start working full time until I joined Century 21 Great House Realty in 1991. That office became Prudential Missoula Properties and later Ink Real Estate Group.
