2017 President at Wyoming Association of REALTORS®, Broker/Owner, Double D Real Estate and Associates

I‘m a forever student! I love to learn whether it be about myself, life or new technologies or about real estate trends! If you don’t continue to challenge yourself you’ll be left behind and stagnant. I have too much to offer to my friends or the world around me to be satisfied just being a bystander!
