Using relationships from my business and commercial real estate career at the McInnes Group, I have used my negotiation, marketing and sales skills in commercial real estate to help establish a reputation of trust and honesty in the Kansas City business community. I have used my skills in attention to detail, easy going communication style, and a “client’s come first” mentality to help build my insurance business. My ability to be an effective listener has resulted in real time business solutions specifically tailored to client objectives. I served as Vice President of American Multi-Cinema, Inc. (AMC Theatres) from 2001-2009 in Kansas City, Missouri. From 1998 - 2000 I was the Director of Investor Sales for Butler Real Estate (a division of Butler Manufacturing Company). I also have nearly twenty years of experience in commercial real estate brokerage and management with such firms as CB Richard Ellis and Grubb and Ellis – The Winbury Group in Kansas City. I was born and raised in Kansas City and graduated from the Pembroke Hill School, then received a Bachelor of Arts degree from Pomona College in Claremont, California. I have three children also pursuing successful careers in Kansas City. I am an avid lover of athletics, having played football, basketball and baseball in high school and college. I continue to play tennis and exercise regularly to this day. My other hobbies include gardening and reading.
