The commercial shows the system we put all of our listings through.
This team is thorough, from the moment they first meet you to the moment they sell your house.
I’ve used them to purchase our first home and would recommend them to anyone, anywhere.

Thanks to Geoff at Weddings in Motion for taking the footage of the video and taking some amazing pictures (see below).
Happy Birthday to my beautiful wife and one of my two amazing sons!
The last couple of days I’ve been lost in work, thought and scrambling for a double header of a birthday this weekend.
Currently its 1:00am and I am finishing up a video, with amazing footage, I can’t wait to share with you.
I’m working on what it is I need to do. The big picture that is. What it is I need to be a part of. Simply put, it needs to be bigger than myself. It needs to be so big that I know I can’t do it on my own.
As I’ve been thinking things through, a few major cultural moments have stuck in my head.
The one that is with me the most right now is from Ray Charles. During a time of civil rights upheaval and racial discrimination, Ray Charles helped people stand up. He helped people open their eyes.
He sang a classic song, but a song that built bridges.
What am I going to do?
Well a few things I know for sure. Financially I want to help out where I can. I want to help bring my finances and others to the table. Let’s be honest, even in an economic down turn we are still doing better than the majority of the world that lives off less than a dollar a day. Entrepreneurial passion, I want to bring it to the table. How can my business and others help out?
I see major need out there and I want to do something about it. Thanks to my younger and stupider days, I’ve learned I need to slow down, process things and make solid decisions. I want to create a movement, not just a moment.
I rarely use my blog to promote a cause other then my own.
I should make a confession here. I should ask for forgiveness really.
It’s something I’ve had on the back of my mind for quite sometime. I have no excuse for not doing do it.
Call it fear. Call it insecurity. Whatever you want to call it.
I guess I’ve just feared using my blog as a soapbox.
So here it is. I watched this video and can only come to the terms that I need to do my part and ask people to do theirs.
I have ideas and dreams of what I want to see happen in this world. What I want to see happen in my town. Nothing happens without action.
I want to find the things in this world that break my heart the most and then do everything I can to help. Everything I can to make a difference in my small corner of this world.
I’ve fallen in love with creativity. I want to use it in the areas I know I’m called to, but have feared following through with.
I want to bring hope to the broken. Be a part of dealing with injustice.
I want to. I’m called to.
So. What now?
I put my mind and my focus on the things I need to. No more excuses. No more fear.
I’ve fallen in love Africa. Specifically Uganda.
I’ve fallen in love with starting new projects. Starting new initiatives.
I’m going to start by taking 4 hours every week to focus on the dreams I have stored in me.
I’ll post them every Friday starting this week. Join me this friday. Send your friends. I want conversation, interaction and you.
Who knows what’s going to happen here. Something will for sure.
