I operate my business from the Windermere Bellevue West office in Bellevue, but also have a full working office in my home in Seattle.

My son Rod, who at the age of 35 in 2003 was diagnosed with ALS (Lou Gehrig's disease) and lost his battle on June 12, 2010. He was blessed to have his daughter, Kaelinn, in his life who was the light of his life. They were always out and about doing all the normal things a parent does with his child. This was taken at the 2007 Puyallup fair as Kaelinn rides on the back of Rod's power chair.
