About Us
Linda and David live on a quiet cul-de-sac in Burke, Virginia,  

Linda is a part-time real estate agent, full-time wife and full-time friend to lots of folks.  And it's her fault David rides a motorcycle. 

 

David is also a part-time real estate agent (only to keep things legal when he helps Linda), an experienced executive and consultant in the direct marketing and operations industry.  He collects knives (a family tradition) and hats, is an amateur genealogist, plays at golf and rides a Yamaha V-Star 1100 Classic Silverado motorcycle.   Each December, David also takes on the persona of Santa Claus.
