I grew up in the Midwest, first just outside Detroit in Bloomfield Hills on Pine Lake, and later in Wilmette, a suburb of Chicago.

I met my husband, John, while we were both working at Leo Burnett Advertising Agency in Chicago. Shortly after we were married, John was transferred to Salt Lake City which was our first time living out West.

That’s when we discovered Lake Tahoe! After vacationing on the Northshore a few times, we were mesmerized by the beauty and tranquillity of Lake Tahoe and were determined to live there as soon as we could. It seemed like a paradise with gorgeous beaches, boating, tennis and hiking in the summer and skiing in the winter. What could be better!

After we both got our broker’s licenses and were selling and managing properties in Incline for a few years, we opened our own brokerage, Augustus Associates. After managing this successful brokerage for many years, we decided to take a “sabbatical” and move to Sausalito, California for a year.

After returning to Incline Village, shortly thereafter Lakeshore Realty was established and we joined this new and innovative brokerage. Lakeshore Realty has continued to be one of the top two brokerages in Incline for over 25 years.

We returned to the Midwest and starting making plans to move out West. In 1979, along with our dog, Happy, we drove to Lake Tahoe and just by chance ended up in Incline Village. What a lucky move that was! Incline was a fairly new community in those days and everyone we met was very friendly and helpful.

John and I decided that the real estate business was the ideal career path for us. John’s father had been an architect and luxury home builder in Indianapolis, and my father had been a real estate investor for years, and with John’s background in marketing and advertising, it seems like a perfect fit.

I worked side-by-side with John until his passing in 2012 and have continued to build my business to new highs. I am an active member of the Incline Village Board of Realtors and am currently serving as a director on the board. I offer a very high level of service to my clients and they come back year-after-year when they are ready to sell their home or purchase another one for themselves or their family members.

I love the small town, low-key atmosphere of Incline Village and I still marvel at the beauty and serenity of the lake and mountains. I am an avid tennis player and love to snowshoe and cross-country ski in the winter. There is always something fun to do here and so many wonderful and friendly people!

I am an active member of the community and support many charitable organizations such as The Pet Network Shelter and Adoption Service, Project MANA to provide nutritional food to low income families, and St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Church.
