I moved to Ruidoso in January of 2000 from Chicago with my husband. After vacationing throughout New Mexico, we found Ruidoso to be exactly the kind of place we most wanted to live because of the climate, natural beauty and business opportunities that were and still are abundant in this area.
My career in Chicago was in financial services and leasing, and I was employed by some very large financial institutions including the Mellon Bank and American Express.
When we moved here, we purchased a mid-sized lodging operation and managed several condos which put us into the property management business. We subsequently purchased 15 of the condos which we completely renovated, owned and operated until December of 2005. In addition to the lodge and the condos, we were presented with several other opportunities including a second lodging operation, a retail flooring store, a restaurant, a web marketing company and for the last five years this realty office where my husband is the qualifying broker. |
