About Me

My photo
I came to residential Real Estate just a bit under 10 years ago, after having been very successful in other ventures...I've been a senior excutive with 2 public companies, an art publisher, I've owned a small TV station, I've been an apparel designer...and have been befriended by International acknowledged Artists like LeRoy Neiman, Erte, Yaccov Agam, Lebadang, and Leonardo Nierman...I've made presentations to Captains of Industry like Steve Wynn, Merv Griffin, and former Air Force Chief of Staff General McPeak. So I've seen and done alot...and today, after a serious health challenge, I'm a Realtor on Chicago's North Shore, but upon reflection, but Real Estate may well be the most rewarding of all of my endeavors, except for being a Grandfather to 2 beautiful children. Professionally, I thrive upon 'HELPING MAKE DREAMS COME TRUE'.

I'M NO BROWN COW...

THINK METAPHORICALLY... (think... Realtor)

To quote directly from the synopsis penned about the introductory premise of Seth Godin's wildly acclaimed marketing manifesto entitled " THE PURPLE COW" (Penquin Group,2003)... It was written ...

"...Cows, after you've seen one, or two or ten, are boring. A PURPLE COW , though...now that would be something. PURPLE COW describes something phenomenal, something counterintuitive and exciting and flat out unbelievable. Every day, consumers come face to face with a lot of boring stuff...a lot of brown cows...but you can bet they won't forget a PURPLE COW. And it's not a marketing function that you can slap on to ...a product or service...
PURPLE COW is inherent. It's built right in, or it's not there. Period"

"Among the herds of 'cows' grazing in the green fields, there was one PURPLE cow among the brown ones..."

...AND I WOULD RATHER BE IT, THAN SEE IT...
