What is a patriot?
On 9/11 you often hear talk about patriotism and supporting troops and first responders. Much of the time these things are synonymous. You are a patriot by supporting the government, military, and establishment. I would suggest a slightly different definition of a patriot. To me, a patriot is someone who seeks to make our country […]
Relationships
One of the single most important things you can find in your Realtor is the relationships they build within the real estate community and within the community at large. Real estate is so much more than a sales industry. It is 100% a relationship industry. It is the relationships that get the work done. No […]

Busy Bees
On Friday I got to go on a short hike with my buddy Bryan Nale. We hiked the Vesta Cedar Glade. It is uniquely, ruggedly beautiful. The highlight of the hike, by far, was when we were in the actual glade and there were these short little trees with big clumps of tiny white flowers. […]
Vocabulary
The words you use matter. Precise language is imperative to accurate communication. Many people think that distinguishing one word from another, when the meanings are similar, is just semantics and the user (or corrector) is being petty or too picky. I would disagree.
