As a second grader, Ann remembers one of her favorite things to do at school\u00a0was play Logo, a fun computer game that taught very basic programming.<\/p>\n<p>She said she also recalls\u00a0another defining moment as a child when her sister won a science award at school and brought home the grand prize, an HP graphing calculator. When her sister gave it to her, she was determined to figure out how to use it. So, she read the entire user\u2019s manual &#8211; from front to back &#8211; and began to program on the calculator.<\/p>\n<p>Ann&#8217;s interest in programming continued into high school. As a senior, she selected a computer science class as an elective. She was the only girl in the class, but Ann said she didn&#8217;t really think anything of it.\u00a0That same year, she also took a career aptitude test. For other students in the class, the test provided several different answers, but Ann only got one: computer science. She said seeing those results reinforced her decision to continue her career in technology.<\/p>\n<p>Ann went on to the <a href=\"https:\/\/nationalland.com\/results.php?county=&amp;lat=41.51825218249901&amp;lng=-99.68090199996223&amp;page=1&amp;state=NE&amp;statuses=sale%2Cnew_listings%2Cprice_reduced%2Cauction%2Cpending%2Csealedbid%2Conline_auction&amp;tab=forSale&amp;zoom=6\">University of Nebraska-Lincoln<\/a> where she selected computer science as her major and competed on the cross-country and track and field teams for the university.<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_1022\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-1022\" style=\"width: 2119px\" class=\"wp-caption alignright\"><img data-attachment-id=\"1022\" data-permalink=\"https:\/\/nationalland.com\/blog\/nlr-spotlight-ann-gaffigan-cto\/u-s-olympic-track-field-trials\/\" data-orig-file=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/nationalland.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2017\/05\/GettyImages-51074032.jpg?fit=2119%2C3226&amp;ssl=1\" data-orig-size=\"2119,3226\" data-comments-opened=\"1\" data-image-meta=\"{&quot;aperture&quot;:&quot;2.8&quot;,&quot;credit&quot;:&quot;Getty Images&quot;,&quot;camera&quot;:&quot;Canon EOS-1D Mark II&quot;,&quot;caption&quot;:&quot;SACRAMENTO, CA - JULY 15:  Ann Gaffigan competes in the women&#039;s 3000 Meter Steeplechase Final during the U.S. Olympic Team Track &amp; Field Trials on July 15, 2004 at the Alex G.

(Photo courtesy of Jamie Squire\/Getty Images)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n<p>After graduating with a bachelor\u2019s degree in computer science in 2004, Ann wanted to keep\u00a0training, but knew that balancing her passion for running and a full-time job would be difficult. So, she took a brave step and\u00a0started her own business.<\/p>\n<p>While she grew her web and systems development business, Gazelle Inc., Ann continued to train, competing for New Balance. And after her second Olympic Trials in 2008, Ann retired from professional running. That same year, Ann and I started working together after a mutual friend told her I needed a website for my land real estate company, Land Pros Realty, and introduced us.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>After meeting with Aaron several times, we realized he not only needed a new website, but a comprehensive system that would help manage everything his company and his agents were trying to do. We started building that system and soon saw how much more business could be generated with the right technology in place. We became business partners and committed to expanding that system to be better than anything else available in the industry. A few years later, here we are, merged with National Land Realty, and using this system to empower our agents and customers with tools no one else has,&#8221; Ann said.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>As NLR&#8217;s\u00a0Chief Technology Officer (CTO), Ann assesses the company\u2019s current operations and develops strategies to streamline them. Her expertise lies in finding bottle necks where people are doing things manually, prioritizing these issues and creating ways to work more efficiently.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>I\u2019ve done my job well if our agents get the right tools and our customers walk away more prepared and equipped than before,\u201d Ann said.\u00a0\u201cI wanted a challenge, and I got it. I\u2019ve learned a lot in the past year and half and I just love what I do.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>When Ann\u2019s not working on the company\u2019s technology components, she\u2019s outside playing with her daughter, Jaelyn. While Ann says she\u2019s not really concerned with computer science just yet, Jaelyn is mostly interested in ways of conserving the earth\u2019s resources.<\/p>\n<p>Ann also serves on the USA Track and Field Athletes Advisory Committee and volunteers with Code for America. She is a motivational speaker and serves as a volunteer instructor for Girls Who Code.<\/p>\n<blockquote><p>In the land brokerage business, most companies are doing the same things,\u201d said Jason Walter, NLR CEO. \u201cBut Ann\u2019s part of our special formula that sets us apart in the industry. She provides that difference for our company and our clients that gives us the edge. She\u2019s very competitive, driven and just the kind of person you want to have on your team.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ann Gaffigan&#8217;s interest in programming began at a very young age.
