ARKANSAS

Hello world! My name is Rickey Arkansas I'm 30 years old, a proud father, and CEO of Deadly Assassin Records. Life has taken me down many roads and I'll would take the same road again if I had chance to do it again. But enough of that you'll learn more about me in articles to come because I am what I write.

Cheri Marks is a Christ-centered business woman, wife, mother and new grandmother. Balance between work and home priorities has been a constant pull and tug throughout her 30-plus year work life. In 2005, after 22 years in Human Resource Management, Cheri took her service mentality to the real estate arena. Today she enjoys a successful real estate career as an Executive Broker in Northwest Arkansas. As one of the youngest of the Boomer generation, Cheri has seen the gamut of change in the way that women are thought of and treated in the work environment. From her experiences, she has learned that being intentional, along with valuing others and yourself are standards that create true success in family life, friendships and business. Besides real estate and grand-parenting, Cheri takes seriously her support of mission and community programs for the least and marginalized. She finds her faith and focus strengthened by her commitment to time in Church, group Bible study and prayer. Downtime you might find her canoeing, fishing and hiking along the Buffalo or Kings Rivers with her husband, painting, gardening, flea marketing or spending time with family, friends and her two labrador retrievers and two rescue kitties. She plays a semi-mean game of Words with Friends, too.
