As a native Texan, minus my military brat background in Japan and England as a child, I graduated from Van High School in East Texas. I made Fort Worth my home after high school and graduated from the University of Texas at Arlington. I have a background of over 10 years in the banking industry and mortgage lending. This experience has definitely given me an extra edge in my real estate business in assisting my clients through the lending process. Although I do have the European travel bug, my roots are here and here is where they will stay.
