My Professional Experience

• My philosophy– “Customer relationships are at the heart of what I do. If you don’t feel that

I’ve built a strong relationship with you by the time we’ve sold your home, then I haven’t done my job”.

• Selected Achievements:– Directed a company audit as an Inspection Team Leaderprior to a massive government inspection to correct inefficiencies before the inspection findings could occur.– Coordinated complete project management for relocation of company assets and facilities including staffing, transportation, timeline and completion goals with complete success.– Instrumental in implementing a department reorganization that saved over 2 million in training costs and increased productivity by decreasing the training period.– 12 years experience in the Minneapolis/St. Paul RealEstate market.
