I got my real estate broker's license in 1976 and have owned and operated a real estate firm in Ephrata ever since. During this past 20 years or so, I have also served for eight years as mayor of Ephrata, was industrial development consultant for the Port of Ephrata, and have been active in economic development groups, the Chamber of Commerce and many other community organizations. Two of my three children have graduated from the UW and one from Central Washington.
