I was born and raised in Sarasota, Florida. When I was younger my parents and I would come vacation in the mountains of North Carolina for the summer. It let us beat the heat and experience a whole new way of life. The laid back mountain life style was completely opposite from the hustle and bustle of the beach city! After I graduated high school, I went to Western Carolina University. After four years, I graduated with a degree in Emergency Medical Care with a concentration in Science. I got hired by Haywood County to work on their ambulances as a paramedic. I lived in Asheville for a year after college, working in Haywood County and commuting to and from work. After a year of that I decided it was time to own a home. I bought a home in Maggie Valley. With that experience behind me, I decided that I really liked real estate and quickly looked up what it would take for me to become a Real Estate Agent. A couple weeks later I was sitting for the real estate exam and passing it!
