Sharon volunteered extensively at Harbor View Elementary and continued with her successful school fundraising efforts.  She also refereed AYSO soccer and remains undefeated on a Pac Sun Tennis League team. 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

We enjoyed Family Golf throughout the year and took 2nd place in the Marrakesh Family Scramble over Thanksgiving.  In November, Sandy and Sharon fired a gross 75 to win the NBCC Couples Club Championship.  

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Lexie and Nicholas both played on winning Soccer Teams.  

 

 

 

We always have fun whether at Halloween, horsing around at home with Alexa telling jokes, surfing in San Diego, or sailing at Lake Mission Viejo. 

 

 

 

 

 

Sandy continued to grow the Mortgage Vintage Private Money Lending business and CrowdTrustDeed’s Trust Deed Marketplace.  CrowdTrustDeed funded close to 50 loans in 2016 closing more than $28 Million in loan volume with hundreds of investors. CTD Logo Final new logo tag line
