Originally from the Chicago area, my family moved to the Washington DC Metro region in 1967, where both my parents taught for the Fairfax County Public Schools. After growing up in Northern Virginia and graduating from George Mason University, I moved to Montgomery County, Maryland in 1987. After first living in Kensington, we bought our first home in Gaithersburg in 1989. In 1998, we bought a new home in Germantown where I currently live with my wife Jean and daughter Jenna. Both my wife and I love our area and our neighbors and are active and committed volunteers in the community. In addition to my wife and daughter, we also have developed a cadre of animals over the years. We love dogs and have our fourth pet, Luna, a mixed breed with Terrier, and Shepard as the predominant breeds. we had to say goodbye to our Cairn Terrier last year and a German Sheppard as well. In the past we also had up to 10 Guinea Pigs!!

What I like most about my job is meeting people, learning about their lifestyles, interests, plans and concerns, so I understand how best to assist and match them with the best neighborhoods and homes. Being a natural problem solver and task manager, allows me to stay on top of all the tasks that need to be managed throughout the home sale process. When you are buying or selling a home no one wants surprises, so I communicate continually with my clients so they know where everything stands and what to expect as the transaction progresses to settlement. Most of all, it is my goal to ensure my clients feel very comfortable and confident that their home purchase or sale is in good hands and they will know that their best interest is always in the forefront of my attention. As a home buyer or seller you are about to make one of the most important financial decisions of your life. For most people their home is their biggest investment. Whether you are buying your first home or 5th, you have many important decisions to make. One of which is to choose the Realtor that you feel will best represent your needs in the selling or buying of your home. I am your lifelong partner, looking out for your best interests. "I have your Back"
