PERSONAL:

I have three children—Daughter Rachelle & husband Brad. Two grandchildren, Nick & Cara. Daughter Jennifer & husband, Mike and their two Labradors—Smokey & Hershey. Son Jeff & Stacey, and their English Bulldog Rocco.

I have family, friends and clients in Lee’s Summit, Blue Springs, Independence, Gladstone, Liberty, Raytown, Grain Valley, Oak Grove, Lone Jack, Holden, Warrensburg, Lexington, Higginsville, Overland Park, & Kansas City, so I am familiar with many areas of the metropolitan.

My favorite pastime is spending time with my family, especially my grandkids! Nick placed 5th his Freshman year at the Missouri State Wrestling Tournament and was 1st place Champ in the 103 lb. weight class his Sophmore year. He then moved up a weight class to 112 lbs. and continued his winning streak placing 1st both his Junior and Senior years. He is the first 3-time State Champion for Odessa High School! His family & I spent a lot of time going to his matches and tournaments. Cara is involved in Tap, Ballet & Jazz. We like to shop, go to the movies, and take walks. I enjoy walking for exercise & inline skating, as well as, cooking, interior design, landscaping & flower gardening. I designed the floor plans for my current home-a 1.5 story with 3 tiered decks. My home was featured in the local Christmas Open House Tour, displaying 9 Christmas trees, one reaching 12 foot tall!!
