It’s time to meet another one of our board members. Today is Kerina Clark’s turn. Let’s find out what she has to say…. 1. Can you tell us a bit about your background and professional experience? I started my career with 11 years in retail banking which gave me a great start in understanding the fundamentals of business finance and the importance of a genuine customer experience. After running a pre-school for 4 years, I was asked to help pioneer the Xcel Centre project here on Aycliffe Business Park. It was a steep learning curve but I absolutely loved the challenge, from finding a suitable build plot, working with design team through construction, financing, restructuring, business start ups right up to transitioning it to new ownership under Glow. 2.     How long have you been involved with Aycliffe Business Park, and in what capacity? I've been based on the park since 2008 and was one of the original steering group for the launch of Aycliffe Business Park Community over a decade ago! 3.     In your opinion, what makes Aycliffe Business Park a unique and vibrant business community? I think it's strength is diversity, a huge variety of sectors and sizes of business but with a really generous spirit where people are up for helping each other out and offering support. On a practical note, it's also a fantastic location with great transport links and a world class supply chain right on your doorstep. 4.     What advice would you offer to individuals or businesses looking to become part of the Aycliffe Business Park community? Do it! Come along to as many events as you can, follow on social media and include [email protected] on your press release contacts so we can celebrate your good news with you. As with most things, what you get out of it is often related to what you put into it, so get involved in whatever way you can.   Now lets get to really know you with a “quick fire” round….   5.     Tell us something that most people don’t know about you. I'm quite musical - I play 4 instruments (5 if you include the recorder!) 6.     Favourite Film Too many to choose from but for Christmastime it's got to be It's a Wonderful Life, with Muppets Christmas Carol a close second.                                                                                                                                                       7.     If you could have dinner with 1 person of your choice in the world right now, who would it be?  Absolutely no idea! Think I'd rather have the time for dinner with friends and family... 8.  What would your superpower of choice be? To freeze time for everyone else while I could still do stuff...for those old enough to remember, I want Bernards Watch!! #AycliffeBusinessPark

A little introduction to my story within this business!

Just as a team meticulously plans its Super Bowl plays, you can strategize and plan to see your wishes honored, your assets managed, and your loved ones taken care of. Here are a few benefits of having a well-thought-out game plan for your estate: https://hubs.li/Q02j0JH40 #FinancialPlanning #AmarilloTexas

Believe it or not, there are many parallels that can be drawn between a winning Super Bowl play and estate planning. Here are a few benefits of having a well-thought-out game plan for your estate: https://hubs.ly/Q02kqC2M0 #EstatePlanning

Zoeller Company is taking its first steps towards its 4th generation of family leadership with its announcement that Bill Zoeller, CPA MBA will take over as CEO upon John A. Zoeller, P.E.'s retirement later this year. We all have reasons to celebrate the success of every family business. Family businesses are a key driver of the American economy. Daniel G. Van Der Vliet at Cornell University and his coauthors found that family businesses employ 60% of the American workforce and drive more than 50% of US GDP. Another study at Cornell cited research showing that women have vastly outsized opportunities in family businesses with 24% of family businesses being led by women compared to 2.5% of their Fortune 1000 peers. And nearly 60% of all family owned businesses have women in top management team positions. Even more reasons to celebrate Zoeller Company's success as they continue with family leadership into the future.

This month I will celebrate my 47th Birthday. Yesterday, I was in the path of totality.  No better time than the present to (finally) pursue my passion! I have always been interested in real estate, but I started to consider it as a career in 2001 while taking a real estate investment class at Harvard Law School. In 2002, I joined Orrick, one of the best commercial real estate practices in the country. In 2006, when I left the law to start recruiting on Wall Street, I adored my new career, but couldn’t shake my real estate dreams. The turning point came in 2009 when the market tanked, and I made my first investment – a short sale with 10% down and a 5/1 ARM. I was hooked! When my husband landed his dream job in Dallas and we moved our family to an amazing neighborhood in West Plano, it only took me about a month to start saying “y’all”….and Y’ALL(!!!!) it took me even less time to realize that we had moved to the best market for real estate investment in the nation. After investing in three different cities around the Metroplex and completing a new build in North Dallas last year, I realized it was time. I am beyond excited to announce that I have joined Team Clary Realty, a successful brokerage with strong roots in Texas and a deep knowledge of the DFW market. Having lived and worked in Napa, DC, Boston, SF, Tokyo, NYC…and to have called DFW home for the past seven years, I know quite a bit about relocating, and have a unique perspective on the diverse needs of individuals and families looking for their dream home in our vibrant state. THREE cheers to my 3rd Act! (1) CHEERS to enthusiastically pursuing your dreams at any age, (2) CHEERS to real estate paying you five ways (ask me how!), and (3) CHEERS to the unstoppable DFW real estate market.

If you are reading this on Insta, add me on LinkedIn. Facebook, I think I’ll be around more often.            Super fun to shoot this picture in my kitchen with @madelinefayphoto.
