Why I'm in Rotary:
Because I love the fellowship and giving back to the community through a combined effort.  
 
What people should know about me:
I finished the Ironman and I sailed a boat from Hawaii to California.
 
Strange, but true:
I know how to sew. Yep, had a business in high school making surf trunks.  They were super cool.

Passions, hobbies, interests:
I love to ski and do just about anything on the water.
 
What I'm really good at:
After 30 years, I’m darn good at selling homes.
 
One goal I’d like to accomplish during my lifetime:
Learn to kite surf.

Favorite place to vacation/visit: 
Hands down it would be Mammoth anytime of the year.

On my bucket list:
I’m going to go hike up Machu Pichu pretty soon.
 
Most embarrassing moment:
I crashed pretty bad on my snowboard one time and the ski patrol had to put me in the sled and take me down Being an ex-ski patroller myself, that was pretty embarrassing. They really hazed me. :)
 
My own question that will help you to know the real me:
How many colleges did you attend for undergraduate: 6!
