I began a new career as a licensed Realtor® with Old Northwest Land Company in 1994 and have loved every minute of it since. A desire to help people achieve their goals was a major part of that decision. I believe in creating win/win situations, without compromising anyone’s integrity. The “team” environment is very satisfying: Together Everyone Achieves More! Because life is ever-changing, our company joined forces with Keller Williams Realty Signature in 2020 to bring our clients and customers even more resources, tools while maintaining the highest level of customer satisfaction.

I am the youngest of nine children and grew up on a dairy farm just outside Galena amongst the rolling hills, Galena River, fabulous terrain and many backroads. I was naïve to the beauty of our area, until a few years back, when we started traveling. Truly, there is no place like home, in the Tri-State area! My husband Ron & I have one daughter Kara, her husband Trevor and of course the grand-puppies. Prior to real estate, I was a cosmetologist and relief milk truck driver. My husband and I bought the milk route in 1983 and that still keeps him busy. We bought Old Northwest Land Company, Inc. in 2004 and have still enjoyed the many warm relationships that have filled our memory bank since then.

We love family get-togethers, riding our Harley Trike, exploring the backroads on the Ranger UTV, watching a good bonfire or enjoying the magic of water….a walk along a lake, river, creek or ocean. The sound and sight of water is so soothing.

I am active in our church functions and support many events in our little town of Scales Mound which has a population of around 400. I am a strong advocate for the local FFA Chapters, 4-H and the ARC in Galena.
