Business Philosophy:

I am a full time real estate professional who believes that communications are the key to successful real estate transactions, whether with my clients or with other agents or brokers, and whether investigating, researching or negotiating.

Received the Army Commendation Medal in 1970, following tour in Vietnam.

Areas of Expertise:

My combined background in both art and residential general contracting gives me a unique opportunity to see houses in ways that buyers and sellers might not, whether envisioning what changes might be possible in an existing home, or exploring ways to help a house put its best foot forward. I am computer and email friendly and an adept negotiator.

Community Involvement:

While my children were in the public schools, I was a volunteer presenting art techniques in the elementary schools. I was also a presenter on the Vietnam Experience at the annual 1960's Symposium Day at the East Ridge Middle School.
