Tucson, Arizona is my home. I've been in this market for many years, along with some time in Flagstaff,  Phoenix, Denver and Los Angeles.

Tucson may not be a top 20 (or even top 50) market, but there is a lot of history here ... and memories for many folks who passed through on the way to the "Big Time." We invite you to visit, enjoy, even share some history with us.
