As a young man, I visited Western North Carolina where my family had a vacation home on a creek with a beautiful mountain view. Some of my best memories were made during those times. I always dreamed of one day owning my own home in this spectacular place, and continue making memories that would last a lifetime.
I was born and raised near Savannah, Georgia. After receiving a Masters in Health Administration from Georgia Southern University and Armstrong Atlantic State University, I launched my career as an Executive Director of Skilled Nursing Facilities and Assisted Living Facilities. During my 15 years in this field, I learned to be an active listener, skilled negotiator, and how best to help others in need. In 2025, my team was recognized as a $125,000,000 Legend of Howard Hanna Beverly Hanks. I was voted among my peers as the most valuable player and won the Insurance Partner of the Year award.
My love of Western North Carolina called me back in 2014 where I met my wife and built the home I had always dreamed of having. I enjoy hiking, visiting waterfalls, traveling along the Blue Ridge Parkway, and spending time on the Biltmore Estate. Every day I am grateful to live in the Leicester/Alexander area and be able to call these mountains ‘home.’
Helping others achieve their real estate dreams has become my passion. I’ve never met a stranger, and am up for any challenge. Whether selling or buying, I can assist you on your journey.
Seven years after moving to WNC, I started my real estate career in the midst of the pandemic, in March 2021. Using the knowledge and skills from my 15 years in health care, I bring patience and understanding to the complexities of real estate transactions. By listening to my clients’ needs, I strive to make the selling and buying process as enjoyable and stress free as possible.
My stellar communication skills, knowledge of the market, charisma and dedication, provide the tools to give each seller or buyer exemplary service. The numbers clearly show my success,
I pride myself in coming up with creative solutions, following through on my promises, and working harmoniously with others for the best outcome. No matter if you are a first time home buyer, luxury seller, investor, or anything in between, I’d be thrilled to work with you
