But Daaaaaaaaad.............


This entry is the first of what I hope to be many conversations. I look forward to sharing my experiences both in life and Real Estate. I have had the goal to begin writing in some format for a long time. It has been very difficult to begin, but am excited to get going and already feel the rush of ideas and thoughts for my postings.

Tonight when I was helping my daughter Emma go to sleep I kept asking her to close her eyes and she kept saying, But Daaaaaaaaaaad this and But Daaaaaaaaaaaad that. I initially wanted to be frustrated at her for not falling asleep quicker but then in the same split second began to smile. Emma calling me Dad put so many things into perspective all at once. She has called me Dad or Daddy a thousand times but this time it felt different, it felt like I was saying the words to my dad, I realized I am not alone in my journey any more.

I have always felt I was on a journey. The path has not always been clear and many times I have knowingly gone in the wrong direction, but have had the benefit of strong, caring people around me to help me find my way back. This is an amazing time in my life, I have the unconditional love of my Wife and Daughter, my family is close both in geography and in spirit. We are all working together to overcome our individual challenges, and to grow and enrich each other’s lives. My Real Estate Career is in its 5th year and thriving. Our Local Market is holding strong and is adapting to the new culture of buyers.
look forward to writing about myself and my family as well as providing accurate, relevant information about our local market, and what the Global and National impacts are.
