My husband and I moved from Montana in September, 2006. Prior to returning to my native southern heritage, I spent 14 years in Montana hunting, fishing, camping, hiking Glacier National Park, cross country skiing, organic gardening, and spent 5 glorious years with my parents before they passed on. My parents taught me the necessity for hard work and to do my best in anything I do.

I was raised in Franklin, North Carolina, along with five sisters,

and moved to Atlanta in 1964. I graduated in 1985 from Georgia State University with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Degree, majoring in Interior Design. Prior to getting into Real Estate I was self-employed a major portion of my career, and my company providing computer aided design services (CAD) to architects, interior designers, civil engineers, developers, and to government agencies such as municipalities, the U.S. Army Corps of Engineers, and to the U.S. Forest Service. My expertise was marketing and making presentations to obtain the contracts for my employees. 

I have two children and three beautiful grand children, who were the drawing factors to move back to the South. We brought back 3 horses and 3 dogs on our last trip across the U.S. to move to Dahlonega. Dividing my time with my real estate business, my husband, the grand children, the animals, reading and organic gardening, I stay pretty busy.
