About

I first came to the Emerald Coast 27 years ago with the Air Force. Although I have traveled and lived in many places around the world, my heart never really left. My wife and I decided to settle down in Navarre after I retired. I have two children and am an active member in my community. I recall what it felt like during my first home purchase, knowing so little and feeling like I was being taken for a ride. So, I promised myself to learn everything I could about real estate to never experience that feeling again. I want to ensure you have those same tools before going to the table and to make sure your home buying or selling experience goes as smoothly as possible knowing you have someone knowledgeable you can trust at your side.
