Not because I particularly liked football but because my Father gave me a deck of Dallas Cowboy Cheerleader playing cards when I was 10.<\/span><\/p>\n I\u2019m inspired by\u2026<\/strong> our agents \u2013 who strive every day to exceed our client\u2019s expectations and make the very complicated process of buying and selling real estate as painless as possible.<\/span><\/p>\n The one person who motivates me is\u2026<\/strong> either of our daughters. They motivate me to make the world a better place for them and their generation \u2013 or at least try to!<\/span><\/p>\n If I could change anything in the world, it would be\u2026<\/strong> change the world\u2019s conflict mentality into one of cooperation, respect and abundance.<\/span><\/p>\n The perfect day would be\u2026<\/strong>\u00a0snowshoe to the top of the Arizona Snowbowl, ski down, have a lunch meeting with some of our managers and agents, ski all afternoon with my wife Nancy and our kids, have dinner by the fire at home. Oh wait \u2013 that\u2019s my tomorrow!!<\/span><\/p>\n My first job was\u2026<\/strong> dog sitter for the GM of the Scottsdale Sheraton \u2013 now the Plaza. $1 per day and all the room service I could eat.

We live in one of the greatest states, in the greatest country on Earth. <\/span><\/p>\n Never\u2026<\/strong> succumb to self-defeat \u2013 believe in yourself.<\/span><\/p>\n Favorite Quote\u2026<\/strong> El hombre que siente mucho, habla poco. The wise man, says little.<\/span><\/p>\n Biggest Dream\u2026<\/strong> winning the Pipeline Masters and having 100,000 people on the beach hold up cards that spelled my name.

Now \u2013 to have our girls grow up to be good people and add value to the world.<\/span><\/p>\n My Pet Peeve(s)\u2026<\/strong> being late<\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"Name: Todd Gillenwater Age: 50 Title: CEO of Russ Lyon Sotheby\u2019s International Realty Married\/Single: Married 19 years \u2013…\n","protected":false},"author":8,"featured_media":3390,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_monsterinsights_skip_tracking":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_active":false,"_monsterinsights_sitenote_note":"","_monsterinsights_sitenote_category":0,"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-3302","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-leaders","cs-entry","cs-video-wrap"],"yoast_head":"\n
