Each Wednesday the Napa Valley Register's Business Focus features "10 Questions" for a local entrepreneur. Readers are welcome to suggest business people to be profiled.

Mike Silvas and his wife Jill, have owned Morgan Lane Realtors since 1998. The two started their real estate career in the 1970s in Southern California in a family business. But Silvas said he always wanted to live in the Wine Country.

In 1998 the two made their move north. "We did what comes naturally, which is buy a real estate company and move," said Silvas. The businessman was one of the first merchants to build on Napa's yet-revitalized Main Street.
