A genuine per-son. Someone who has your back 100 percent, and you have theirs. Someone drama-free and well grounded. I like more of the natural look. And a genuine smile goes a long way.My proudest accomplishment: Just feeling that I’m a person who is pretty well-rounded in the community and also being part of a large family. Starting a business and taking the bull by the horns and making things happen. And I have a good balance between personal and professional. The most important value in a relationship: Someone who can adapt to any situation. Just friendship and honesty and being able to count on someone to be there for you. Drink of choice: Cabernet. Biggest turnoff: Dishonesty. A materialistic woman. Last time you cried: In December, when I noticed a couple with two kids who were putting groceries back be-cause they didn’t have enough money and the little boy told the dad, ‘It’s OK daddy.’ That was heartbreaking.Super powers I wish I had: A way of making everyone’s life just a little easier every day.My favorite thing about living on the Gulf Coast: Knowing that the water is three blocks away from you in every direction.

My proudest accomplishment: The amazing friends I have in my life. I grew up as someone who had a hard time with friends. I went to college and became an adult and now I have the most amazing group of friends. The most important value in a relationship: Loyalty.Top song on my playlist: “Beautiful” by India Arie.Super powers I wish I had: It’s not a conventional answer. I’d want to be able to see myself the way other people see me for one day. As individuals, we are overly critical of ourselves, we know everything about ourselves, and we look at ourselves in a certain way that most people wouldn’t. My favorite thing about living on the Gulf Coast: My family. I moved away for many, many years. I just came back a few years ago. I came back to my family and to a more simple life than I was living.Drink of choice: It depends on the season. For the spring, most likely bock beers, something more citrusy. In the summertime by the pool, it’s all about piña coladas. In the winter, it’s all about bourbon. I’m in the bar industry. I know my way around the bar.GreGOry GuDz24 COASTMONTHLy.COM / APRIL 2015The Kimberly Harding Group is nowRE/MAX SynergyBeau & Kimberly Harding, OwnersBroker, GRI, CDPE, CNE, SMP, SRSRE/MAX Synergy1108 Gulf Freeway S.

Some-one spontaneous and not on a schedule. Someone as comfortable in flip-flops watching movies at home as they are going out in high heels and a dress. My proudest accomplishment: My career. I’m happy and blessed and fortunate for somebody who came from a very humble background and reached his goal. My 12-year-old son is the cen-ter of my world. My favorite thing about living on the Gulf Coast: The variety of entertainment venues — The Strand and Kemah entertainment venues, the restaurants and the weather. You can be outdoors all day. Beautiful sunsets. I’m not a BOI (Born on the Island) but I feel like I am. I’ve been here since 1989. Last time you cried: As part of my profession, sometimes in private I shed a few tears over a client’s pet who I assisted to the Rainbow Bridge. It never gets easy, nor should it as they are a part of the family. I do well up every time I see our military personnel reunited with their families. I’m so proud of what they do for our country.If you were stranded on a desert island and you could bring three things, what would they be? Duct tape, fire starter and Mary Ann from Gilligan’s Island.
