Native Virginian; born in Newport News, spent my formative years in Paterson, New Jersey.  I returned to Virginia in 2000 and established residency in Smithfield.  I have an extensive logistics leadership background; having culminated a 30-year military career (U.S. Air Force) as a Lieutenant Colonel in 2005.  I’ve earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Management the University of South Florida and a Master of Science degree in Management from Troy State University.  I take great pride in helping others achieve their goals; and for that reason, became a REALTOR® in 2008.  Furthermore, I’m a volunteer income tax counselor in AARP Foundation Tax-Aide Program (District 12).  As a REALTOR®, I’m certified to handle the buyer and seller sides of distressed property transactions (short sales and foreclosures), and will serve the Hampton Roads community with the same dedication, sincerity and compassion that guided me while I served our country.
