Professional Organizations (past and present)

Residing in Boulder for over 20 years, Elaine enjoys the outdoor lifestyle this area has to offer with her husband, Gary, and their combined families. Some of her hobbies are skiing, hiking, cycling, fly-fishing, swimming with the local Masters group, reading, travel, and getting together with friends and family.

Originally from Houston, she received a Bachelor of Science degree in Biochemistry from Texas A&M University in 1982 and, after many lonely hours in a laboratory, changed her career path to something more people-oriented. After spending several years in Denver working in commercial real estate and development, she moved to Boulder in 1986 to focus on helping buyers and sellers in the area with residential and investment real estate. She currently holds the SRES® (Senior Real Estate Specialist) designation, has over 150 hours in continuing real estate education, and belongs to the Boulder Area Realtor® Association, Colorado Association of Realtors®, and the National Association of Realtors®.

She enjoys volunteering her time with the North Jeffco Swim Team, the Fairview High School Swim Team (both Boys and Girls), and school functions at Fairview High School.
