CURRENT OCCUPATION--My family and I live in Chula Vista, CA, in the southern part of San Diego County.  We have been REALTORs with Prudential California Realty for the past 9 years, specializing in residential and commercial real estate.  We formed The Bettger Team  as a group of agents who place a similar emphasis on service, knowledge, and professionalism.  We have our own marketing department, our own full-time transaction coordinator, and our own 15-foot moving truck for our clients to use.   Due to many requests from our past clients, we have also formed Bettger Properties to provide outstanding Property Management services to tenants and landlords.  In the same way clients make long-term financial plans with their accountants and financial planners, we want to help clients plan their long-term real estate goals regarding their primary residence, vacation/retirement home, rental properties and commercial properties.  For a list of other interests and business ventures, click here.

PREVIOUS CAREER--Before moving to Chula Vista, I was an Assist. Professor in the Joint Doctoral Program in Special Education at UC Berkeley and San Francisco State University (SFSU).  I taught research methods to Doctoral students.  I also taught classes for Masters and Undergraduate students:  Language Development, Deaf Culture, Research Methods.  My research was on cognitive development (such as language, attention, memory, spatial skills) and I focused on the acquisition of American Sign Language (ASL) by Deaf children.  Prior to that, I did Post-doctoral research at the Salk Institute for Biological Studies in La Jolla, CA in the lab of Ursula Bellugi and Edward Klima.  I studied the delopment of spatial and language skils by Deaf children.  Before that, I worked with Ila Parasnis, Vince Samar, Elissa Newport and Ted Supalla at the National Technical Institute for the Deaf and the University of Rochester.  Before this, I did my Master's Degree with Doug Medin at the University of Illinois comparing Human and Computer Learning.  At the beginning of my academic career, my undergraduate thesis, supervised by Ralph (Rob) Roberts,  at the University of Denver also compared Human and Computer Learning.  From academics, I most value my research skills and teaching skills.  Now as a real estate agent, in-depth research gives my clients an edge on market trends.  My teaching skills help me give my clients the knowledge they need to make a good decision.  Throughout my academic and business careers, I must say that I have had wonderful colleagues to work with and to learn from.  For this, I am most grateful.
