About
me
|
 was
born here in Seattle and grew up
in the Ballard area. In my early
twenties I spent some time working at Boeing and several
other occupations. I learned a lot having
a variety of jobs and experiences.
I then went to college, taking mostly
business courses. But I was still searching
for what I wanted to do professionally.
All my life I’ve been drawn to real
estate in one way or another. As a child
I was often involved in various home
remodeling projects with my father.
He wore a suit and tie to work, but on the
weekends he enjoyed working with his hands.
I enjoyed our projects together and learned
the basics.
After my college days I decided to finally
listen to “that inner voice”.
I always enjoyed the varied aspects of real
estate. Why don’t I buy a fixer upper?
Well, in the summer of 1984 I purchased
a fixer in West Seattle. It
was a pretty sorry looking
house, with no foundation, termite and carpenter
ant damage, dry-rotted porches, animal odors, and siding that had not been painted
in decades. I spent the summer working on
it and was quite proud of my first remodel.
The neighbors loved it. I then sold it to a nice family. It gave
me pleasure to see the buyers so happy about
their new home.
That clinched it for me. For 25 years now
I’ve been purchasing all kinds of real
estate in the greater
Seattle area, from east Bellevue to West
Seattle, north Bothell down to south Burien.
Though some people come and go in this
town, my wonderful wife and I will always
live right here, in this jewel by the sea –
Seattle.
