Perry and Michelle Haggard

Our story started in 1998 when Perry and Michelle met in jail.  I was working as a Highway Patrol Officer and Michelle was working as a Custody Officer with Los Angeles County Sheriffs Dept.  I would bring the people I arrested to the jail where Michelle was working.  Shortly after we met we began dating and ultimately we got married in 2000.  We began studying for our real estate licenses in California and had passed all of our required classes.  Prior to taking our exams we made the decision to move to Tennessee and decided to re-take the classes out here.  We retired from our law enforcement careers and moved to Columbia Tennessee.  Michelle immediately obtained her real estate license here and began working at the Crye-Leike office  Perry started working as an armed security officer at a private school where his daughter attended.  After some discussion, I decided to leave the law enforcement style of work and obtained my real estate license here in Tennessee and joined Michelle at Crye-Leike to become a husband/wife team.
