Maxine also grew up in south Minneapolis where she completed High School at Holy Angles prior to attending St Cloud State University. After marriage and raising 4 children amid constant moves as the wife of an Air Force pilot, she spent many years in the art gallery and frame design business, starting in Montgomery, Al. where Jack was stationed with the Air Force.

Moving to Minnesota in 1985, she began working with a local art and framing business. She managed a St. Paul Gallery for several years and then moved to the Galleria location as manager. Maxine decided to leave the retail art field after 25 years and joined Jack in his fast growing Real Estate business. Like Jack, the constant moving during their Air Force years gave Maxine real insight into what relocating is all about. Combining that background with the love of art and design, Maxine brings unique experience to the real estate field.
