I have been involved with many different businesses, but Real Estate has been a part of my career as far back as I can remember. It started with being my grandfather’s little helper when I was old enough to walk, helping him with plumbing repair work. I have experience and worked in most areas of real estate and construction, built many residential homes and some commercial buildings. First licensed as a real estate agent in 1986, I have been involved in the transactional side ever since.
