Born in Ohio, I spent most of my young life on a family-owned tour ship that voyaged the Cuyahoga River (yes, that was the river that caught on fire in 1969). The good news is the fire helped spur an avalanche of water pollution control. The Cuyahoga River was also known as the city of bridges because of the 330 crossings. My parents moved to Scottsdale in the Arcadia district over 40 years ago, and successfully opened two bars and two real estate companies. During this time, I became a landlord to a commercial property located in Tempe, Arizona, and developed a passion for real estate and in 2004, decided to get my real estate license. I’ve been living and selling in Payson ever since. I come from a family of entrepreneurs, so because of my business upbringing, real estate is a good fit for me. My family instilled values of commitment, collaboration, and an entrepreneurial spirit. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking, travel, gardening, and am an avid skier. My husband and builder; Dan Jaeger, and I enjoy the small-town lifestyle of Payson.
