About me:
|
A 3rd generation Florida native, I grew up in Tampa where I lived all the way through my college years before moving to the desert southwest, site-unseen, to do some graduate level studies in musical theater at Arizona State University (I had been a voice major in undergrad at the University of South Florida).
Quickly falling in love with the desert, I decided I would never move back east. Well...never say never! After 10 years in Arizona and southern New Mexico, life led me to further graduate work in northeast Tennessee, and finally to a position in the Washington, DC metro area -- an area which I, once again, fell in love with and thought I'd never leave. Yeah...right!
Long story short . . . much of my early adult years were spent as a program director (primarily music and youth) in various churches and traveling as a singer/musician. In Washington I made a career move into association management, working for two national trade associations for the next 10 years.
In 2002, my father passed away and I found it necessary to go full-circle and move back home to Tampa to help my one remaining parent stay in her house as long as possible. Once back in Tampa, I decided to fulfill a dream I had had for several years and get my real estate license, and spent the next four years as a Realtor with Keller Williams -- a great company, by the way.
Over the years, I had also dabbled in network/multi-level marketing, which I found to be a fascinating business model. Unfortunately I fell into the same pitfalls that so many network marketers fall into, and did not survive for long in each endeavor.
Having returned to Tampa and enjoying the freedom that the real estate business affords, I made the conscious decision that I would never work FOR anyone again. The challenge was finding the right opportunity that would provide a solid, steady residual income to carry me into my "retirement" years -- whatever that means these days.
Network and online marketing, I truly believe, offers exactly that -- allowing each of us to pursue whatever business we choose to be involved in. I've also found my niche in providing training, management tools and non-competitive support to others in the network marketing business -- no matter what company or opportunity they may represent. I believe in creating win-win situations, and I grateful to be working with a team of long-time, highly experienced network marketers who have developed a unique and outstanding system and online program that provides me the opportunity to do exactly that, as well as building some incredible business and personal relationships around the world.
