When I was 20, I took a huge leap of faith. Not metaphorically—I literally leapt out of a plane at 15,000 feet.

While I was on the way there, I thought about turning around approximately 5,000 times. (And that’s a lowball estimate.) But despite thinking of all of the ways I could die, I still did it. I’m that person. Once I say I’ll do something, it will happen.

I used to put that perseverance to work as a teacher, now I put it to work as a Realtor. I don’t have to jump out of any planes or climb any mountains…but I do have to move them.

I have a little man at home who is watching and learning. So now a days I just try my best to keep him alive and hope that one-day he will wake up and want to move mountains too.
