Skiing was the reason I first came to Colorado. It stands to reason that from a very young age, someone born and raised in South Florida would be fascinated with mountains and snow. Once here, I was drawn to the beauty and wild places throughout the State. By 1980 I was establishing a new home in the Vail Valley.

My background in education, BS from the University of Florida and 13 years teaching at Coral Gables Senior High and Ransom- Everglades School, gave me the adaptability to become established in the community. I have taught skiing on Vail Mountain for over twenty years, worked as a marketing manager for Vail Resorts, was a retail shop owner in Beaver Creek and real estate broker.

Three years ago I made the decision to move to Ridgway and Ridgway has been home for almost 2 years. I love the wide-open spaces, matchless beauty, serenity and the starry skies on inky, black nights.

The last 25 years I have been living a dream, working and enjoying life in the Colorado Rocky Mountains. The reality of life has far exceeded my early expectations. Investing in real estate has been part of that reality. With my knowledge of the area and my passion for the Colorado lifestyle it is my pleasure to work with others as they search for their Colorado dream place.

"Judy was the most prepared, helpful, energetic, and knowledgeable agent in the six states we have visited for property."

"We were buying two properties at one time so the paperwork got pretty involved. Every time I got nervous about a deadline or question, there would be Judy on the phone to comfort us. We never had an agent so attentive."
