I’m proud to be part of the leadership team with Samson Companies and how far our organizations have come. My daily goal and satisfaction is helping our “newbies” and veterans alike to become the most effective professional practitioners they can be. It’s rewarding for me to facilitate and witness our agents’ longer-term growth in this serious and challenging field. True business success comes through best practices learned from each new transaction experience, and an unwavering commitment to high ethical standards and integrity.   

Rule #1:  Be Nice! (To clients, fellow agents and staff)

Rule #2:  Do your job like a professional

Rule #3:  Enjoy yourself and the rewards which always come from Rules 1 &2!
