What motivates you to wake up and go to work?
My boys! Providing for them and being a role model.  And knowing that I can help someone acheive the dream of homeownership.

What do you enjoy doing in your free time?
Watching my kids soccer and rugby games, hiking and spending time with friends and family…especially when we’re laughing!

What would you do for a career if you weren’t doing this?
I’d be a motivational speaker and inspire people to go after their dreams.  I’d also make a good detective.

If you could have any superpower what would it be and why?
To be able to fly! Who wouldn’t want to know the freedom of flight…and gas is getting expensive! 😉 

What’s your favorite food?
Strong coffee, fruit and scones in the morning and chopped salad any other time of day

If you won the lottery, what’s the first thing you would do?
I’d book a flight to Italy, rent a Porsche and drive through the country stopping for cappuccino, great food and arts and culture.  Ciao!

If you could learn to do anything, what would it be and why?
Sing! I love music- it makes me happy!

If someone was going to visit your hometown, what is one local spot you’d suggest they visit and why?
Go to Gruel Britannia and order coffee (nice and strong), scones and some classic English breakfast sandwiches to go and head over to Sasco beach to enjoy them.  Stepping into GB makes you feel like you’ve crossed the pond to England and the food is fantastic.  The drive to Sasco is beautiful and the view from there is fantastic.  A morning out will feel like a mini vacation.

What’s your favorite thing about working at Total Mortgage?
The commitment the company has to supporting and encouraging the employee’s success and to having fun and celebrating!
