After graduating from the University of Texas, Betsy embarked on a distinguished 8-year career in the US Navy, where she earned numerous accolades, including the Navy Achievement Medal and a Certificate of Excellence on the Physical Readiness Test. Following her military service, she transitioned into a 20-year career in the digital creative field, where she honed her skills in animation and web design.

When her husband retired, they decided to pursue their lifelong dream of sailing the Caribbean. They sold their belongings and relocated to their new catamaran, where they took on the roles of Captain and Chef. With the help of a trusted First Mate, they launched a luxury yacht charter business offering 7-10 day vacations of a lifetime to discerning travelers.

After a highly successful season, they visited family in The Villages and were drawn to its warm and welcoming community. They decided to trade in their catamaran for a home in The Village of Marsh Bend, where they quickly felt at home among the friendly residents and colleagues. Betsy was inspired to help others achieve their retirement dreams, so she began working as a real estate agent in The Villages.

Betsy is passionate about her work, describing it as a “lifestyle, not a job.” She is proud to be associated with a company that prioritizes the happiness and well-being of its residents and employees. In her free time, she enjoys spending time with her husband Tom and their playful puppy Henry Ford. She also appreciates cooking, golfing, lounging by the pool, playing Samba with friends, and visits from her son Max.
