PROFESSIONAL SUMMARY BIOGRAPHY


  

I grew up in West Bloomfield, Michigan, in a 1900s farmhouse on land my family purchased in the 1930s. Home was more than a place to live—it was the center of family, work, hospitality, and possibility. It was where meals were shared, pets were loved as family, business was discussed, and the values of hard work and service were lived out every day.


My connection to real estate began early, surrounded by my family’s real estate, grocery store, and business ventures. Watching my father, a World War II veteran, work 12- to 16-hour days taught me the importance of preparation, integrity, dedication, and thoughtful service. Those lessons became the foundation for how I approach both life and work.


Over time, that strong foundation grew into a professional path shaped by finance, operations, hospitality, training, communications, and service. I earned a bachelor’s degree in Finance and Accounting and a master’s degree in Human Resources Development, then built experience across faith-based, hospitality, restaurant, corporate, and community-focused environments. Each role strengthened my ability to organize complex projects, improve systems, support people, and create experiences that feel thoughtful, efficient, and well cared for.


My career has included long-standing service with St. Luke’s Lutheran Church & School, where I have supported worship media, communications, database implementation, special events, fundraising initiatives, volunteer engagement, and scholarship support. Earlier roles with Walt Disney World, Denny’s Restaurants, Island One, Inc., and Northpoint Financial Corporation deepened my expertise in event management, staff training, human resources administration, payroll and benefits, financial analysis, and operational planning.


Through it all, one theme has remained constant: everything comes back to home. Family is home. Pets are family. Cooking, gathering, traveling, shopping, and settling into a community all become more meaningful when they reflect the way people truly want to live. That belief is at the heart of my real estate work today.


As a longtime Central Florida resident, I bring both personal appreciation and practical knowledge to helping people buy and sell across Central Florida and the Beaches. From quiet heartland farmland to the sun-drenched sands of the world’s most famous beaches, I understand that every move is about more than property—it is about lifestyle, timing, investment, family, and the next chapter.


In every part of my work, I take time to understand the facts, stay current with technology, and create efficient processes that make the real estate experience feel clear, informed, and manageable. My goal is to simplify the process, reduce stress, and help clients move confidently toward the life they want to build.


More than selling homes, I help people connect with the communities, neighborhoods, and possibilities that fit who they are and where they are going. Whether you are trading wide open acreage for a coastal retreat, searching for the right family home, or securing your next investment, I am here to guide the details so you can focus on what truly matters: finding your place, claiming your piece of paradise, and feeling at home.

If you are ready to explore what is possible, I would be honored to guide you.
