I
grew up in Alamogordo, New Mexico, just a short 45 minute drive from the
center of Ruidoso, and had been a frequent visitor to the Ruidoso area
from a very young age. Having been born in Dallas, I have been known to my
friends and family to being a "die hard" Dallas Cowboy fan all
my life, but I never let that interfere with business no matter who your
team is! I moved to Ruidoso on a full-time basis in 1973 while being
involved in the construction industry and entered the real estate
profession in 1974.
Since
entering the real estate business, I have consistently been one of the top
producers and have won every award given by the Ruidoso Board of REALTORS®
prior to their eliminating awards in 1996. I have been a
Multi-Million Dollar Producer every year since 1983.
In
addition to being a Multi-Million Dollar Producer, I have been Lister of
The Year five times, Sales Person of The Year four times, Broker of The
Year four times, Hustler of The Year six times, Top Producer of The Year
three times, President’s Club and Top Production twice, and was named
REALTOR® of the Year. I have been awarded the Chairman's Circle
Gold which is awarded for the top 3% in sales in the United States for
Prudential agents in 2003, 2004, 2005, 2006, and 2007. Earning this
award for 5 consecutive years, I have received Prudential's top honor, The
Legend Award, and have joined an elite group of agents who are in the top
1% in total sales of all Prudential Agents in the United States.
I am a life member in the National Register of Who’s Who of
Professionals in the Real Estate field. I have served on the Board of
Directors and have been an Officer for the Ruidoso Board of REALTORS®. I
have also been a Director for the Realtor’s Association of New Mexico (RANM).
In addition, I am a Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) and Graduate
Realtor Institute (GRI). I also am a member of the National Association of
REALTORS®. I have served as chairman or a committee member of several
REALTOR® committees including Professional Standards and Ethics and
Grievance committees.
I
have been involved in various community-based volunteer organizations such
as Rotary, President’s Club for the Ruidoso Valley Chamber of Commerce,
Billy the Kid Scenic Byways Committee, and the Economic Development
Corporation of Lincoln County. I have also been active in several
charitable organizations, such as St. Jude’s Hospital Bike-A-Thon, Camp
Enchantment, and Ski Apache Disabled
