My story from "delinquency to degrees" is one of grit, determination, self-realization, perseverance, and ultimate success. However, after overcoming potentially life-altering obstacles as a young adult to earn a Ph.D. prior to the age of 30, and experiencing a successful career within education, I found myself having to navigate mid-life trials and tribulations. Facing an unexpected career altering decision after being ousted from a high profile education position, I was once again at a pivotal crossroads in my life, this time on a professional level. Building upon many of the psychological/social lessons and strategic decision making processes learned as a youth, I rebranded, repurposed, and revisioned my dream of serving others and my community, which ultimately led to an overwhelmingly successful transition into a 2nd career as a self-made entrepreneur.

"As a community leader, I have looked up to Chad and the work he has done in FNE Denver for years."

 I admire someone who works to support and uplift their community while conducting their business. It was an easy decision to work with Chad and his team and we were in great hands throughout the entire process. As first-time homebuyers-- we were overwhelmed by the process, but Chad and his team were only a phone call, text, or email away. We couldn't have bought this house without them! I'd recommend Chad and his team to anyone even just considering buying a home.

"Chad was amazing to work with as we sold our home in Colorado and moved out of state."

Throughout all of the stress of selling a home and moving our family across the country, Chad never stopped advocating for us and pushing to close our home. It was great to work with someone who tirelessly works on your behalf. Chad absolutely has his clients best interest in mind and does everything in his power to make things right. It was a pleasure to work with Chad and I would do it again in a heartbeat!
