Allow Me to Introduce Myself / by Chris Tate

Hello and welcome to my personal blog.  My Name is Christopher Tate and I created this blog to share my passions.  What are my passions? I am passionate about photography, urban design, artisan bread, gardening, the game of tennis, commercial real estate investments, commercial real estate finance, my friends and family and some other things. Right now, I'm focusing my photography on landscapes and street photography.  I enjoy studying urban design and believe in green-walkable neighborhoods.  I also study urban safety as I have been involved in security for over thirteen years.  My mother is a Scandinavian who happened to be born in Minnesota and she has been baking breads all my life... yes, I was a spoiled kid who grew up eating those amazing Scandinavian cinnamon rolls mmmmm, I can never forget those wonderful smells of fresh baked bread and cinnamon in the air as a kid.  So I have a thing for hand crafted breads made with heart & soul.  My Mother-in-law is a master gardener and she helped me get started gardening a couple years ago.  I enjoy spending time in the garden tending to the plants and eating fresh fruits and veggies from our garden.  Tennis is one of my favorite sports.  I enjoy both playing and watching the great sport.  I have been a licensed California real estate broker since 2006.   I have a Bachelors degree in real estate from San Diego State University.  I have been active in many facets of real estate.  I have helped many clients with their real estate and real estate finance needs.  I practice commercial real estate finance and am here to assist my family of clients wit their commercial finance needs.  My friends are very important to me.  I love my wife, my mother and my whole family. Thanks for reading, I'm excited about being able to share my passions with you!
