Your Vail Valley Real Estate Resource
Service - Experience - Commitment - Results

In 1972, I moved to Vail after graduating from St. Louis University in St. Louis, Missouri with a Bachelor of Science degree and becoming a registered nurse. I lived in Vail until 1975 and worked as a Vail Ski School instructor. I left Vail in 1975, but joyfully returned in 1982 to begin my real estate career. I joined Coldwell Banker Timberline Real Estate, Inc. in 1983, became an Owner/Partner in 1993, and the Managing Broker in 2004. I love the professional and productive atmosphere of this highly talented group. My family and I enjoy all the amenities the Vail Valley has to offer, all year long.
