About me: I sure cherish every day of life. I get up and wonder how anyone could start the day off wishing the day get over. We never get the day back so why not enjoy it and anything that comes along that day. Sure beats creating self defeating prophecies.For the most part I am just a basic guy with a big German Shepherd named Lars. He liked Metallica so much that I thought I would name him after another fellow Dane; that being Lars Ulrich. Everybody just loves my dog Lars, and does he clean up with treats and people scratching his ears.I like to read,I blog on activerain. Hence, http://www.activerain.com/tommybraatz. I work, I reflect,pretty much answer my phone all day, or do some tweeting (are you following me on twitter.com yet?)and I read some more.I love playing and listening to music.

I enjoy what my son would say is boring. I like watching NOVA, Public Television,live music and concerts (the music is still never loud enough),playing my guitar, and I like a lot of cool stuff just as well like scuba diving,sky diving, vacationing, and I enjoy good food. Not extravagant food, but good food;you know tacos, burgers, chicken from a chain store, and lots of thai, gyros,heck, the list is endless.I like to hang out by myself, and I like being with a lot of interesting people.I love selling Real Estate in Wisconsin, and I love coaching and teaching Real Estate so Salespeople can really make a lot of money.My Real Estate blogs are http://www.activerain.com/tommybraatz (subscribe today for great reading) or http://www.localism.com/tommybraatz. My dog "Lars" is passionate about his music. Find me also at www.tombraatz.com, www.buyingvip.com, www.myhomevaluesource.com.
Best to all, and to everyone. Sometimes I put on a Rush CD or blues, or just about anything and just sit back and realize the World really is a pretty neat place with a lot of decent people in it.

Tom Braatz

Yes Tom, I really put my heart and soul in my dogs. I had several shepherds which I loved dearly and would do the same for them. They where like my kids...lol. Love them! Yours looks so much like the one I had georgous dogs. They also train very easy, mine was k 9 trained no one would come near me with him...was so funny. He was loyal to me and I miss him. ICE
Tom - You are an outstanding person! It is no wonder that people seek you out for real estate - we think alike! Get to know the person, put their needs before yours and the rest will come. Lucky to know you!
