Other facts

Born in Lisbon, Portugal. The United States of America, my country of adoption, has been extremely good to me, and I know that I will never be able to repay that debt of gratitude to our great country, but I have tried to give back as much as I could and knew how. Received endorsements from the Venice Area Board of Realtors and the Sarasota Association of Realtors.
