PERSONAL INFORMATION PAGE Picture Gallery Recent Photos Family Information I don t have a lot of time for Facebook, although I am using it a bit for business, as well as Twitter, LinkedIn and Plaxo. Using Twitter, I follow the Wall Street Journal, NY Business Times, Mortgage Daily, and many mortgage and legal tweets. That way I can find out the information before it hits the newspaper. The purple dress was my first official ballroom gown. I dance International Standard, Open Gold category, with my husband, John Cordon. We take lessons from Anna Mikhed, who is one of the top professional Standard dancers in the world, and a very, very nice human being. Next, is a miniature sword-type fish that I caught in Puerta Vallarta. The big one got away, but not before I saw it sail through the air. It was magnificent and very heavy, which is why I lost it. We only fish catch and release as it is much more fun and better for the environment. The third picture shows myself, my youngest son, and my husband at my neice s wedding. The oldest son was in Iraq at the time. And finally, the blue jacket picture. The professional studio pictures were taken in 2005.
FAMILY LIFE My husband, John, is a biologist, and works as an independent contractor protecting wildlife (tortoises, birds, plants) on construction job sites. He is actually licensed to handle tortoises. He spent 24 years working for Phizer as a scientist, doing research on drugs to treat neurological disorders. He is a classical pianist, although he hasn t had time to practice in over a year, as he works 6-7 days a week, 12-13 hours a day, which is why I get to work so many hours! When he is home, I am home. Otherwise we re working because we love what we do. My oldest son, Craig (24), just got out of the Army last December. He was in the Airborne division for 7 years and he served 3 tours in Afghanistan, and one tour in Iraq, while based in Vicenza, Italy. He applied for the U.S. Border Patrol, got a 98 on the test, and has been offered employment with them, or he may get a job in trucking, which he loves. Craig gained confidence, and some of the best work ethics and management skills I have ever seen, by being in the military. And he can save your life no matter what you get yourself into. He is a handy guy to have around. My youngest son, Matthew (just turned 18), does everything that pertains to the sport of drifting. His extraordinary story can be found at www.mattdaledrifts.com, by clicking on sponsorship at the top of the page. He is one of the youngest drivers to win Top Drift Round 4 and he accomplished that the first time he competed last year. He wants to have his professional driver s license by the end of the year. He also works at Capella Mortgage as a personal assistant to me, answering phones and emails, and putting together the computerized data into each customer file. He is preparing to become a real estate agent. HOME ADDRESS: 3079 MONTE ROSA AVENUE LAS VEGAS, NV 89120 Last updated October, 2011
