Thank you for checking out our site.  Here's a little history on me:  After graduating from SIU, I started my teaching career in Illinois.  As time went on, my husband's job in Marketing, provided us with many new locations to live and work with our two daughters.  IN 1990, I opened the first Mailboxes Etc franchise in the Dakotas, followed by becoming a hands on renovator of homes and then in 2004 acquiring my Real Estate license.
