St. Petersburg, Florida, USA, is my hometown. I've watched the Tampa Bay area grow from a couple of towns on the bay to the thriving metropolis that people see today. After graduating from Northeast High School in St Petersburg and the University of South Florida, Tampa, my working life has been in the construction and real estate industries, including new home construction and project management for projects like Raymond James Stadium, the Ice Palace and World Golf Hall of Fame.
I love the Tampa Bay area and am familiar with local neighborhoods in both Tampa and St Petersburg, a big advantage for buyers seeking local neighborhood knowledge. For sellers, I use the expertise gained in years of work as a marketing manager for home builders, coaching sellers how to prepare their homes for sale and using quality photography, video and virtual tours to get top value for their homes.
Whether buying or selling, my job is to make the process for you as smooth and enjoyable as possible. I look forward to helping you make YOUR future home a reality!
My hobbies include Scottish Country Dancing, hiking, photography and travel. As a supporter of Metropolitan Ministries, Sierra Club Tampa Bay, PetPal Animal Shelter and the Museum of Fine Arts - a portion of every closing goes to support these local groups.
