I grew up near Mansfield, Ohio and came to Athens in 1990 to attend Ohio University.  After earning my degree from the Scripps College of Communication, I moved to Columbus where I worked several years for Schooley Caldwell Associates, an architectural/design/planning firm.

I bought my first house two years ago after living in university provided housing or rentals for years.  Buying my first house so recently gives me fresh insight for the first time home buyer, and moving so many times taught me what it feels like to be transplanted and starting over.  So I really enjoy helping people find their safe haven and settle into their community.

When I'm not working, I enjoy reading, hunting (I'm new to this, and haven't gotten to spend nearly enough time doing it), and just about any adventure that presents itself.  I've owned and worked with horses for years, and plan to have them back in my life some day.  I'm slowly renovating my house, which is harder and more fun than I imagined it would be.  I have two evil little cats, Boo and Aeon, who enjoy frolicking in my houseplants and making a mess.
