In 1984, when I was 14, we opened  a family business called "The Sticker Shoppe".  In the course of 24 months, we opened a total of 4 stores.  It was a whirlwind.  By the time I was 17 years old, I was managing employees and stores and when I graduated from high school, I decided to postpone college and take advantage of the opportunity in front of me.  Believe, by the time I got to college, I knew more than some of the professors (at least about opening and running your own business).

Dad decided to try Real Estate in 1987 and he's never looked back - so, in 1990, we liquidated the stores and I went on to college to major in Entrepreneurial Business with a minor in Marketing.  I was inspired from the years of working with my family to strive for my own business.  In 1994 I met my (now) husband and decided to work with family again - this time with Dad in Real Estate.  I found I loved it just as much as he did!

In 2002, my husband and I moved to the East Coast to pursue some wonderful opportunities.  While we were there, I was driven to try my hand at my own business.  In 2003 I decided to pursue a much loved avenue of professional organizing.  I started my own organizing firm, expanded the firm, became heavily involved in the National Association of Professional Organizers (NAPO) and our local chapter of NAPO and then we decided to expand our family.  We adopted 2 adorable brothers from Russia and from the minute we brought them to America, we knew we needed to be back with family.  So, in 2006, I sold my business and we moved back to Idaho.  We have since adopted 2 more boys and love the chaos of our lives.  Real Estate is the prefect business for our family - it enables us to help others, something we thrive on.

My experience throughout the years is diverse, yet applicable in everything I do: Marketing, Organizing, Business Planning, Business Growth, etc.  I love applying and utilizing my strengths on a daily basis and this business allows me to do so.
