Jan was in the legal field as a Certified Legal Assistant in South Florida for about 20 years.  Her fields of expertise ranged from criminal law, family law and personal injury.   After that juncture she decided to switch gears and get involved in Corporate America.  She was offered a position that required her to relocate to San Antonio, Texas  and became a Corporate Secretary. Jan was also one of the Executives of the Retama Park Racetrack located in Selma, Texas.  Part of her responsibilities included reporting quarterly financials to the SEC (Securities Exchange Commission).

Jan has 2 beautiful daughters; her eldest daughter, Brooke, resides in Boynton Beach, Florida and has just become a licensed pharmacist.  “After all those demanding years of study, we’ve come to the conclusion that it’s all worthwhile,” says Jan.  Her youngest daughter Aubreigh resides in Westlake Village, California and is currently a licensed commercial insurance broker.

In September 2006, Jan relocated to Sebring, Florida and delved into real estate.  After being in the industry for only a year, she advanced her options by obtaining her Broker’s license.  Presently, she is pursuing the required education to acquire her Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) designation.  Jan is an over achiever and plans on continuing specialty education in her field so that she can stay “above the crowd”.

Jan is very involved in her community which includes being the Secretary/Director of the Heartland Association of Realtors® (HAR), is on the Board’s Governmental Affairs Committee and is a member of the Group for Better Government.  She achieved the 2008 HAR President’s Award and was very instrumental in the Celebration of Life Fashion Show, Guardian Angel and Casino Night, which are only a few events with her involvement that raise money for selected charities in our community.   Harvest-fest is the next upcoming event and is dedicated to the children of our community.

In addition, Jan is a Director of the Greater Sebring Chamber of Commerce and was an Ambassador for the past for 24 months.  She engages in volunteering throughout Highlands County which includes assisting the Highlands County Builders Association, Junior Achievement and any other worthwhile entities that may need assistance including helping with the Triathlon for the past two years, hosted by the Chamber’s Young Professionals.
