HI!

[Pamela Rickey]

Just to introduce myself...

I am a military daughter, wife and mother, having seen my father off to multiple wars, my husband off to Desert Storm and, twenty years later, my younger son off to Iraq. After returning from Iraq and graduating from college last spring, Scott was commissioned a Lt. in the Air Force. Now, months of waiting for orders are finally up and Scoff left yesterday for Laughlin A.F. Base to begin his training as a pilot--something he has worked towards since 7th grade. 

My older son and his wife are both successful software engineers--a path David chose in 6th grade. (Isn't it great when both your kids achieve their dreams and you can finally give a sigh of relief and know you must have done something right?)

As for myself, I never really could decide what I wanted to be when I grew up...so I did it all. My careers included accountant, insurance sales, entrepreneur (retail...successful, but took too much time, so sold so I could spend more time raising my boys), software developer, college instructor, college administrator, and instructional designer (curriculum developer).

Over the years, my husband and I rehabbed a few properties for rentals, which we later sold, so now that I am at loose ends again (the college I worked for the last 10 years gained a new administration who decided to lose a few hundred employees), I decided to try my hand at flipping. Saturday, I bought my first property at auction and am excited about bringing an old house back to life and finding someone to love it again (and making money in the process).

So glad I stumbled across Bigger Pockets and looking forward to getting to know you and learning from you.
