Cathy Saltero: Well, you are also one of our candidates for the board of directors for 2010 Metro Brokers, and thank you very much for doing that, how long have you been with Metro Brokers?
Tom Wood: 15 years.
Cathy Saltero: 15 years that is quite some time, seen a lot.
Tom Wood: Yes.
Cathy Saltero: Okay. Tell me what features or benefits, business tools do you value most about Metro Brokers?
Tom Wood: Well, I think the Metro Brokers website is really good and I do like theCTM econtracts you know, I think that is a good feature, and the technical part I am not too techie, one of the disadvantages of being old is, I learned things like the slide rule when I was in school, not the computer.
Cathy Saltero: That is okay sometimes it takes a little bit longer to get things done, but then you have got it all in front of you, you don't have to worry about a computer crashing or something right.
Tom Wood: Correct.
Cathy Saltero: All right, well describe some volunteer experience that you can bring to Metro Brokers board of directors and in real estate perhaps that you have done over the years?
Tom Wood: Well, I have been active with a number of home owner associations, each neighborhood I have lived in over the years. I participated in the home owners association; I was one of the original members in Lone Tree when it first started, and then couple of years later I was asked to run for the Park Meadows Metropolitan District as a commissioner or director I guess is the correct word, and I did that on two elections, so that was eight years I did that, and lately I haven't done a whole lot, and I haven't done too much with Metro Brokers really, and so I felt at this point it would be time for me to do something to help whatever I can.
Cathy Saltero: All right that is great. So, that is probably one of the reasons you say you are running for the board of directors?
Tom Wood: It's exactly right, you know, it's one of those things whatever it takes, and I don't have any agenda, I am going to do what they say they need to have done, and I know from past experience that some of the things on the board that you do isn't, because it's necessarily what you want to do, but it's because of something you have to do, and right now I think I have to participate with the board.
Cathy Saltero: Tell me about what are some of the strengths that you have, that you can bring, you can contribute to our board of directors in 2010?
Tom Wood: Well, first willingness to work. I have been in the real estate business since September of 66, so I am in my 44th year doing this, and I have been relatively successful over the years, and I have been manager in the number of offices, and quite frankly just really the experience.
Cathy Saltero: All right well our elections are in January, our board annual board of directors meeting, and we will wish you the best of luck.
Tom Wood: Well thank you very much, and I will be there, and I will put on a presentation for a couple of minutes.
Cathy Saltero: Okay, well thank you very much.
Tom Wood: Thank you.
