About Me

Over the years I have been called “Mary Poppins” by many people. I make friends easily and am always around to lend a helping hand. It has been joked I don’t know a stranger.

You see, I am an Air Force brat who has lived in so many states and several foreign countries I had to get married before I could say I was from any particular place! Having been in California now for a very long time (it is never good for a woman to admit her age) I feel I can claim to be a native.

My husband and I met at Sacramento State and haven’t wandered far from there since that time.

After working in the consulting field in the bay area for a number of years I decided I really liked real estate. I have now been in the real estate industry for 16+ years and am affiliated with Re/Max. Helping people achieve the dream of homeownership and assisting them through that process is what I do best. I have been in the top 3% of agents since 1993 and was named “Realtor of the Year” for 2005.

My husband, John, and I have been married for a very long time and have two grown children, Lyndie who is a teacher at Folsom Middle School, and son Lee who is a police officer for the City of San Jose.

I love my job but when not working you may find me at the gym training to run a marathon for charity or on the soccer field either coaching or refereeing. It is a good life and it is my pleasure to help make your life a good life too!

Blogging is a way to attend a cocktail party but not actually be at someone else’s home. In this fast paced life we lead it is sometimes nice to sit at home, relax and still feel like you can still participate in various things throughout the area in which you live. My goal is to have this blog accomplish just that. With your help I hope it becomes a voice of not only Folsom and our surrounding communities such as El Dorado Hills, Rancho Cordova, Fair Oaks, perhaps Sacramento to name a few.

It won’t just be about real estate although I am sure that will be a topic discussed often but also about what is happening in the local schools, city politics, shopping , restaurants , employment, local getaways and activities -- in fact, we can discuss whatever you like. So, visit often and comment without feeling as if you are being judged. You only need to be you.

So, welcome to FolsomLivingBlog.com. It’s about all of us and our community!
