Hi,

I was born and raised in Columbus Ohio and raised 3 wonderful boys there.  I now have 3 beautiful grandchildren who I adore. Most of my career I spent working with my Father at his company and eventually taking over once he retired.

I moved to Naples Fl. almost 9 years ago and worked as a Property Manger for 6 years before realizing that was not the best fit.  I have been in Business Development for Pro-Tec Plumbing and Air for the past 3 years as well as an Ambassador for the Chamber of Commerce.  I am on several committees with CAI and Naples Networking group which keep me very busy.
