Greetings! I wish to express my sincerest thanks to you for visiting my site and taking the time to get to know a bit more about me.
My goal is to be a reputable and respectable conduit of information in all forms of real estate transactions for my clients. While I am able to conduct all types of real estate transactions, it is my desire to provide my clients the most current and profitable trends in energy efficiency. My knowledge of building science, sustainable technology & materials, and vast network of providers, allows clients to make informed decisions and capitalize on the real estate market.
I came to Dover in the summer of 2009 by way of Los Angeles and Chicago. I grew up in the farming and antiquing village of Richmond, IL - The Village of Yesteryear (pop. 1,000).
In Chicago, I spent my days working at a Fortune 500 company in a downtown high-rise office building, and my nights and weekends promoting a rock band.
In Los Angeles, I started and ran two successful businesses, wrote, directed, and performed on stage and screen, and was the showroom manager for the World Famous Hollywood Improv. It was in LA where I met the woman who would become my wife. When she was offered the position of Assistant Professor in the English and Women's Studies Departments at UNH, I knew I would need to change careers and begin a new life in New Hampshire.
I had become enticed by the idea of flipping houses. I'll admit it - shows like Flip this House and Income Property drew me in. But, from my time in L.A., I knew that reality TV shows are anything but real. Obtaining education and hands on experience would be the only route to take to be successful. I saw opportunity in the emergence of renewable energy, sustainable technologies, and their potential applications in both commercial and residential buildings. The idea of providing sustainable housing and doing my part to reduce my carbon footprint and demand for foreign oil took hold in my mind.
The housing market and the economy had just begun its downturn, and I saw this as the opportune time to return to school and receive an education in real estate and building science while waiting for the recovery.
I studied Architectural Technology, Construction Management, Applied Business Management, and Green Real Estate at UNH Durham. During summer breaks, I put my accumulated knowledge to work. I interned at a sustainable building materials retail outlet in Portsmouth. I learned about the concept of "greenwashing" and how to determine true sustainability and value of products. I volunteered for Habitat for Humanity, building houses in Farmington and Rochester. Later, I took on the role of Project Manager for the non-profit organization SEAREI (Seacoast Area Renewable Energy Initiative), and Office Manager for a local construction company. I passed the New Hampshire Real Estate Commission's Salesperson Exam in January of 2013, and I received an Associate of Applied Science degree in Civil Technology and Applied Business Management in May of 2013, graduating with Highest Honors as a University Scholar.
This education and hands-on experience is what sets me apart from other real estate agents. My network of professionals in the fields of energy efficient and sustainable building materials, methods, and technologies is vast. Concepts of passive homes, net-zero energy use, and universal design have become second nature to me. The future of housing will be built heavily upon these foundations. Those who embrace them will have the most success and happiness in the buying and selling of real estate.
Don't you deserve an agent who can provide this to you?
