Built Different.

My background as a native of Wisconsin explains my affection for beer, bowling, and cheese. I now call the contemplative mountain surroundings of Waynesville home. Home truly is where the heart is, and my favorite place is anywhere with my amazing wife, Rachel.
I consider myself a geek, jack-of-many-trades, amateur chef, and avid outdoorsman who loves biking, hiking, and fishing. If only bowling were an outdoor sport! I enjoy the peace and reflective elements nature inspires, especially with a freshly brewed craft beer, sitting by the edge of a creek.
I was Charter President of a Toastmasters Club and became an accomplished public speaker. I have also held leadership roles in my church and our local Knights of Columbus Council.
Do you want help reaching your real estate goals? I specialize in brokering real estate transactions and solid investments with a high level of integrity. My business is driven by one simple goal: to apply my diverse sales background, see each transaction from your perspective, and guide the sales process with minimal stress.
Since my first paper route at age 12, my 30-year career has focused on sales, marketing, and communications. I have worked in numerous fields including medical, hospitality, and community. I earned my REALTOR® license in Florida in 2005, and now find the greatest enjoyment in helping people reach their home buying and selling goals in Western North Carolina.
As a collaborative, team-oriented professional, I have a passion for people and effective communication. I have a natural tendency to try to “fix” things—whether it’s something broken around the house or a breakdown in communication between people. Let me help you with your real estate needs.
