Prior to that, she was the Denver Marketing Representative for The Merchandising Group, New York, (TMG), exclusively handling the E.I. DuPont Denver account for the Fibers Division; and then a Denver sales agent for John Hancock Life Insurance Company.

She obtained her BBA from The Women’s College of the University of Denver, and maintains a current Colorado real estate Employing Broker’s license.   Additionally, she completed all course work for licensing as a Colorado real estate appraiser and has obtained her Certified Mortgage Lender (CML) designation.   Various other finance classes have been completed in continuing education throughout her career, including Exchange Marketing Specialist (EMS) designation and National Council of Exchangers.

Candace also started her mortgage career at Megapolitan Mortgage Company, Denver in 1981 as assistant to the Chairman of the Board.   Moving into the closing department a few months later, she learned the ins and outs of commercial closings and soon became Vice President of the Closing Department.   “The more complicated the closing the more fun you’ll have”, was her motto.

Leaving Megapolitan to move to Los Altos, California, Candace was a Branch Manager for a title insurance and escrow company.    The San Francisco earthquake made her realize she belonged back in Colorado.

Upon returning to Denver she decided to give robotic manufacturing sales a try and traveled extensively in Asia and Northern Europe for the company.   The end of the high tech manufacturing boom shuttered the company and Candace decided to return to the business she enjoyed the most, mortgage lending.

Candace graduated with a BSBA in Management and Economics from Regis College.

Her passion is her young daughter.
