SUMMARY

I have over 12 years professional experience in the title industry. I bring not only a comprehensive knowledge of title, but also the business acumen to develop relationships & improve the bottom line of the company. My experience & education give me a special ability to adapt quickly to whatever challenge is presented. I understand the law & how that relates to the professional responsibility demanded by the industry. I have been self-employed for a number of years and place a high value on skills such as communication and organization that a lot of people like to talk about but are hard to measure.
