Born in Chicago, Illinois, and raised in Milwaukee, Wisconsin, Nashville, Tennessee, and Chattanooga, Tennessee, I have been fortunate to experience diverse communities and cultures. After graduating from Hixson High School in Tennessee, I attended the University of Tennessee at Knoxville, where I laid the foundation for my professional journey. I married my high school sweetheart and raised three wonderful sons together.
My career began in the family food brokerage business, which served as the springboard for a dynamic professional life. I later worked as the Southeastern Zone Manager for a frozen bakery food manufacturer based in Buffalo, New York, where I honed my skills in customer service and building long-term relationships. These experiences instilled in me the values of dedication and reliability I bring to my real estate practice today.
Licensed as an Affiliate Real Estate Broker in 1999, I quickly became involved in the industry. I served on the Board of Directors and MLS Committees in 2010, 2011, and 2012. In 2013, I was honored to serve as President of the Greater Chattanooga Association of Realtors. Along the way, I earned several professional certifications, including Accredited Buyer Representative, Certified Residential Specialist, EPRO, and Graduate of Realtor Institute, each reflecting my commitment to professional growth and excellence.
Over the years, my real estate business has focused on new home construction and first-time home buyers. It has been a privilege to help families buy and sell multiple homes, fostering relationships that often span decades. In 2019, I became a licensed Real Estate Broker and served as the Principal Broker at my former brokerage before joining Real Estate Partners Chattanooga. My years of experience have allowed me to contribute meaningfully to the success of my clients, always guided by principles of trust and integrity.
Outside of work, I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren, attending their sports and school events, and exploring Tennessee’s beautiful lakes and rivers through camping. Exploring Chattanooga’s dining eateries is another favorite pastime. I believe deeply in the Golden Rule and strive to under-promise and over-deliver in everything I do. My goal is always to provide my clients with exceptional service while helping them find a house and a place they can truly call home.
