About Me:

Originally from Michigan, I lived in San Diego for ten years after graduating college until my wife and I moved to Texas to be closer to her family. Prior to real estate, I earned a bachelor's degree in Business Administration from Wayne State University in Detroit, Michigan. As a real estate broker, my mission is to introduce buyers to a community where they feel a connection, and help sellers with the sale of their home so that they can experience a smooth transition into the home that best accommodates their current needs and situation.

Stemming from my desire to interact with people in a challenging career, business endeavors range from the telecommunications industry where I held positions in management, to working with my family's beach rental business.

After recognizing the potential in the vacation home business, I earned my real estate license in order to take a more active role in the family business, as well as expand my own business into residential sales.

Determined, hardworking, knowledgeable, and adaptable are a few of the characteristics that attribute to my success. However, my incomparable strength is attention to detail, which is an instrumental component in every phase of the real estate transaction. Furthermore, I emphasize the importance of communication, which is paramount to delivering exemplary customer service. I listen to clients' needs and wants, educate them throughout the process, and keep them informed every step of the way, even if there are no updates available.

Selling real estate in Galveston is a dream job. The Island landscape is so unique. From beach side bungalows to the charming Victorian cottages, there is a dream house out there for everyone. These are my top selling points for Galveston:

1. Fish, surf, sail, swim, kayak… There are so many ways to enjoy the ocean, bays, and beaches of Galveston. These are Galveston’s greatest resources. We need to take care of them.

2. We have a vibrant art scene, great local music, and a festival almost every weekend. Bring on Mardi Gras!

3. The historic character of the Island creates an amazing sense of place that you can’t find in the ‘burbs.

4. There is a common saying in Galveston, “Everywhere in 10 minutes.” The city was planned for the 19th century pedestrian, so everything is located in close proximity.

5. The revival and emergence of local industry ensures economic growth in Galveston. In recent news, UTMB revealed plans to build a new hospital, the Wharves Board is planning an expansion of port facilities on Pelican Island, and the Galveston Pleasure Pier is rocking!

Note to Sellers: Whether you are looking to move your family into a new house or secure your financial future, selling your home is a very important decision. I rely on extensive market knowledge and tactical negotiation skills to help sellers realize the maximum value for their home. In addition, I utilize the latest marketing technology to help sellers reach the largest network of buyers, which means your home will sell faster!

Note to Buyers: My most important obligation to my client is keeping them educated about the housing market. Rest assured, that by working with me you will be informed about every available property on the market and you will receive continuous updates about changes in the marketplace. I also provide assistance to buyers with obtaining financing, submitting offers, and coordinating inspections. In the end, I take the stress out of this exciting and important decision to purchase a home.

I started my career in real estate in February, 2013 in Dallas/Fort Worth as a part time agent representing buyers. Because of my passion for helping others buy and sell real estate I made the move from Fort Worth to Galveston to pursue a full time career in real estate. Finding the right Realtor to work for you is the most important step in buying or selling a home. I am a real estate professional with integrity, professionalism, effective communication/negotiation skills and one who will always put your interests and needs first.

I have spent my entire career in service related industries, including 20 years with Frito Lay Inc., who encouraged development of strengths. This helped me to hone strong negotiation skills, management of detailed processes, expertise in interpersonal communication skills and the ability to work well with all types of people. My keen attention to detail has helped my clients avoid unnecessary headaches, delays and excess expenditures and I have a personal passion for helping others reach their desired goal or outcome.

On a personal note, I have been married to my amazing wife for over 34 years and have 3 daughters and 3 dogs. I enjoy all the benefits of island life including golf, fishing, kayaking and everything else the island has to offer.
