Personal Background:

After several relocations, I've made the Carolinas my home.

I enjoy the quality of life and easy access the area provides to parks, lakes, business/financial centers, good schools, sensational restaurants, major sporting events, music and the arts, plus an unlimited variety of shopping opportunities that few areas of the country can match.  

"You can be away from it all, or right in the middle of it all, in a matter of minutes,"

My wife and I have shared together in raising 2 daughters and a son.  When not involved with family and school events, we're active in church and service organizations.

I also enjoy sports, walking, biking, amateur radio, traveling and music (and I'm always looking for lyricists to collaborate on writing songs!)

I love working with the first-time home buyer just starting out on their own; the entrepreneur looking for property to establish his business; organizations requiring facilities to buy or lease; the busy executive, businessperson or professional that needs to relocate or upgrade; and the more senior adults that want to downsize and/or be closer to the children and grandkids or just find a great place to live. I also enjoy working with those desiring additional properties as investments or are considering selling

I have a basic understanding of green and sustainability property requirements. 

My goals include making your real estate experience as smooth as possible and to minimize stress and risks.
