After writing about the myriad of benefits refinancing your house can have, there are just as many pitfalls to be on the look out for. Some of them can come from outside sources, but just as with most things in life, many of these mistakes can be av…

Did you ever wonder how Mississippi became the next cool neighborhood in Portland? Or why there are new, trendy businesses being opened in neighborhoods that don’t seem to be able to support them? The short and very unsophisticated answer is: Urban…

Two of the strongest indicators of a healthy economy are consumer spending and the housing industry. When consumers are confident that their money is going to continue to flow in a positive direction they spend money. When consumers trust that the h…

Profile Information

Which Portland neighborhood do you call home?
Sunnyside
About Me:
I am a Loan Officer with Sound Mortgage, and loving it. I am a professional actor, singer and director. I am currently working on two projects, directing Into the Woods at Lakewood Center for the Performing Arts, and then acting as Freddie in Dirty Rotten Scoundrels at Broadway Rose Theatre Company. I am engaged to a Southern Belle. I am working hard to create and maintain a balanced life. I love camping, hiking, going to the coast. I am only competitive when it comes to sports, and then. . . watch out. I am an educator having taught theatre arts for 8 years. But most importantly, I am a life-long student. If I am not learning, I am completely and utterly bored.
What do you love about Portland?
What is not to love. To me, Portland is in perfect balance in so many ways. Where else can you enjoy a formal outing to a fine dining restaurant or art event and then turn around and enjoy the rich, bohemian culture. It is a small town in a big city. . . or is that a big city in a small town? It is an hour from the majesty of the pacific ocean and the awe inspiring mount hood. One can participate in the hustle of downtown and them moments later escape to the solitude of Forest Park.
My music:
I have a degree in music composition from U of O, so I am a connoisseur of many genres of music. I can find music very distracting because I listen so intently. Having said that, I am partial to classical composers such as Debussy, Ravel, Satie, Beethoven; musical theatre, particularly Sondheim and Jason Robert Brown, 70's rock (can't beat it) and I love experimental music.
What's your favorite Portland neighborhood and why?
I absolutely LOVE Hawthorne, with Mississippi and Alberta Arts a close 2nd and 3rd.
Favorite quote:
I am going to cheat and have three:-p

"Every child is born an artist. The problem is how to remain an artist once he grows up." ~Picasso

"If you go flying back through time, and you see somebody else flying forward into the future, it's probably best to avoid eye contact." ~ Jack Handy
