Let me start by saying very few people set out to be a realtor as their first career. It's more of a winding path you walk; and as time goes by, all your experiences kind of lead into this path. If you took a poll as to why, it would be as diverse as the days in a year. It's just something you grow into. The best agents I have met have always been from very diverse backgrounds. I have seen no real pattern, just motivated people with the love to help people and somewhat driven by attention to detail.
I grew up in a little town called Seaford in Long Island NY.I spent my childhood listening to all the stories my father told about life on the Island, the bay and the farms. As a young man he worked on the farms, spent many an hour out on the water for his seafood, how good the local Long Island Sweet corn was then and is still today. I had my 1st boat by the age of 8, and worked my way up to a good sized inboard by the time I was 14. Even after my senior prom, I took a group of my school mates out on the Great South Bay for a little moonlight cruise. I learned to swim as soon as I could crawl. Growing up and working at the local marinas only fueled my passion for the water. Every dollar I made went into bigger and better boats. By the time I was old enough to drive, I was motoring around in a really nice Boston Whaler.
Some of my best memories are drifting across the Great South Bay spearing for eels. If I was lucky, maybe I would see a summer flounder (fluke) hiding in the mud. Now I tell you spearing an 8-10 pound fish was something. I was taught to have net and spear at the ready and to make sure I had my oar to keep me on course .If I could hit one on the tip of the nose it would flop right into my net. But if luck was taking the day off I would go fish less.
On the water timing is everything .Many times I lost track of time and the tide would slip away. I would find myself doing some old fashion calming as I pulled my boat to deeper water. I would than have to spend the next six hours waiting for the tide to come back in. My dad always taught me to pack a little extra just in case I got caught with the tide going out, most times I left that little extra behind and a good clam knife made the difference in going hungry for the day. I could go on for hours; it was great place to grow up.
My last 4 years in the Navy I was an Information Technology manager for Fleet Training Center (FTC) Norfolk. I managed a 1,000 computer network both for the hardware side and software. I have training in fiber optics, CD course programming and other IT fields.
During my 20 years in the Navy I met my wife. As all military personal do I always awaited letters from family and friends. I met many different people and had many pen pals. I met my wife through letters and we have been married 20 years now. We have been blessed with children, 4 beautiful daughters and a son that watches over us all. They keep me focused on the important things in life. My family gives me the firm foundation that I walk on.
All this brought me into Real Estate, having such a diverse background enables me to better connect to the prospective buyers and sellers. It has worked out well. I was the Rookie of the Year my 1st year and a multi million dollar producer every year thereafter. I then started the Eastern Shore Team. We are a team of five Coldwell Banker Harbour Realty agents with many different strengths and resources. When combined we have found that we can better serve our customers.
