I have raised a family of six amazing children, who are great contributors to their communities, and value hard work, integrity and making a difference. Being the daughter of an architect who invited me to construction sites and shared his knowledge of organization, communication and listening skills, has been an enormous blessing throughout my life. My grandfather was a master builder and craftsman. His love of gracious spaces and fine workmanship has been passed on. I grew up appreciating the art of the mason, the beauty in chimneys and stone walls. I know more than I need to know about septic systems, and plastering. Because the life of my ancestors has always intrigued me, I have a love of and have owned antique homes. I find them unique and inviting. No floor is level or wall is plumb, but this is their charm. My favorite space is the keeping room with its massive fireplace and beehive oven, wide pine floors and beamed ceilings. Next to our families, our homes are the most important possession we have. I have had the opportunity to help many families make their dreams come true. Please let me help you with your dreams.
