About Me

When you are buying or selling property in today's real estate market, it's important to have confidence in your real estate professional. My commitment as your local REALTOR® is to provide you with the specialized real estate service you deserve.

When you are an informed buyer or seller, you'll make the best decisions for the most important purchase or sale in your lifetime. That's why my goal is to keep you informed on trends in the marketplace using the latest statistics in your local area. With property values continuing to rise, real estate is a sound investment for now and for the future.

As a local area expert with knowledge of the communities, my objective is to work diligently to assist you in meeting your real estate goals.  I have been a resident of York County since 1995.

If you are considering buying or selling a home or would just like to have additional information about real estate in your area, please don't hesitate to call or e-mail me.

I am committed to my clients and customer service is my priority.

Buying or selling a home is usually one of the largest financial transactions an individual, couple, or family will make during their lifetime and it should be a good experience.  Whether you are relocating into or out of the local area or making a move into a different home, I will do my best to make sure you experience a smooth transition.  You have my personal guarantee that I will work with you to make sure you are happy and satisfied in a "no pressure" environment.  I can give you up to date real estate information on property available in Chesapeake, Gloucester, Hampton, Isle Of Wight, James City County, Newport News, Norfolk, Poquoson, Portsmouth, Smithfield, Suffolk, Virginia Beach, Williamsburg, and York County, Virginia.  Whether you are looking for land, a townhouse, condo, duplex or house on the lower or middle Virginia Peninsula or in the Tidewater area, I have access to all the current listings.  The Greater Hampton Roads area is a wonderful place to call home and it is my goal to help my clients find the homes they wish to purchase, not to simply sell them a house.  For those that need to move out of the area and sell a home I understand you have money and time obligations to meet.  You have my promise that I will not just list your house, I will do my best to get it sold for you. 

About Me

I was born in San Jose, California and am the oldest of three children.  I joined the Air Force at the age of seventeen and enjoyed every minute I spent serving my country.  While deployed to Saudi Arabia during the Persian Gulf War I met my wife Paula.  Since I enjoy working with people, a career in Real Estate was a good choice for me.  I am a full time REALTOR and always available and responsive to my clients.

Military Service

I retired after almost 27 years in the Air Force.  My last assignment was at Langley AFB where I was a member of the 71st Fighter Squadron.  During my career I made 7 household moves and I know what an enormous undertaking relocating into an area you are unfamiliar with can be.  It is important to know you have someone you can trust to work with.

I have lived in the Yorktown area since 1995 along with my wife and 2 daughters.  My wife Paula separated from the Air Force after the birth of our first daughter and has been working for the York County School Division since 1998.  Taylor, my oldest daughter is in the fourth grade and Kylie my youngest daughter is in kindergarten.

Interests & Activities

My wife and I are both strong supporters of the Cancer Relay for Life and the Children's Hospital of the King's Daughters.  CHKD saved our youngest daughter's life after she was born and has continued to provide her with excellent care as she grows.  I also participate in the Peninsula Adult Soccer League and enjoy running and fishing. 

My Real Estate Training

I attended the Alpha College of Real Estate and then proceeded to get my Real Estate license.  I also attended three months of training at Greg Garrett University after I started working for greg garrett realty.com.  Additionally, I regularly attend workshops and sessions to enhance my skills as a real estate professional.  As an Accredited Buyers Representative I am dedicated to representing my buyer's best interests.  As a Seniors Real Estate Specialist my goal is to provide the best service to Seniors while helping them make the decision that is in their best interest.  I am a member of the Virginia Peninsula Association of Realtors and I belong to the Williamsburg Area Association of Realtors Multiple Listing Service and the Hampton Roads Multiple Listing Service.  I am also a member of the Cheasapeake Bay and Rivers Association of Realtors and I subscribe to the CBRAR Multiple Listing Service.  I have been an award winner every year since 2003 for the VPAR Outstanding Salesmanship Club based upon my property sales.
