Ali is a native to Dubuque, her family has lived here for over three generations. She is the second youngest of two brothers and one sister and is a proud aunt of her nephew, Caden.

Ali’s Real Estate career began while attending Wahlert High School. Ali was an employee at a Real Estate and Appraisal Firm in 2000 where she obtained much of her knowledge of the Real Estate Market. After much hard work, she obtained her Real Estate Salesperson license in February of 2002. Since then she has been working hard at her career in Real Estate sales and appraisals. She is currently employed at Ruhl & Ruhl Realtors of the Tri-State Area and Luksetich Appraisals.

Ali is in the process of obtaining the Certified Residential Specialist (CRS) and Graduate of the REALTOR Institute (GRI) designations. In order to obtain these designations, there are a number of classes she will have to take in 2006, which will expand her education in the Real Estate industry. Only 3% of the 1,000,000 Realtors in the US have this designation. Ali is doing this, not only for personal growth, but to provide better service and more knowledge to her clients.

Ali’s husband, Jared, is also a Realtor at Ruhl & Ruhl. Together they have come up with a great marketing plan to provide to their clients and are always thinking of new strategies for the marketplace. When they are not selling Real Estate, they enjoy skiing, biking, boating, camping and spending time with friends, family and their dog, Buster.  On Easter Sunday March 23, 2008, Ali and Jared became the proud parents of their son Cohen Joseph!
