Due to the events of September 11, 2001, I was laid off from my VP position, in Cash Management Sales with the Bank of New York. The Bank suffered tremendous financial losses. Management implemented the LIFO method for employee reduction.  I was the last one hired in the department, hence, the first one to go.  The job market in the financial services marketing sector was weak due to Enron, WorldCom and Adelphi Communication.  I decided to work for myself. Now 8 years later, I established myself as the #1 Agent in the State of New York for Coldwell Banker in 2010.
I believe when God closes one door He opens another.  I had always wanted to get into real estate. I now incorporate presentation skills and software skills, enhancing my product knowledge of the Housing Market by enrolling in a number of courses offer by the National Association of Realtors (NAR) and the Appraisal Institute.  

I have since obtained the GRI – Graduate Real Estate Institute designation, CBR – Certified Buyers Representative, e-Pro - Internet Proficient, and BERE – Board Certified Real Estate Professional and Assistant Appraiser license. 
I have a passion for the business. I have been told to, “Find out what you love and do it and prosperity will follow”.  It's true!
