I bring a unique and diverse combination of skills and expertise to my work as a REALTOR®, and this is a huge benefit to my clients in helping them navigate the financial, legal, and emotional complexity of today’s real estate transactions.
A Strasburg native and a 1979 Strasburg High School graduate, I earned a B.S. in Finance from JMU. Along with my 35-year banking career, primarily as a Commercial Loan Officer for First Bank, I am also a Certified Financial Planner and have successfully invested in real estate since 1984.
I’ve had years of experience in new home construction, extensive home renovations, single and multi-family investment properties, as well as commercial real estate. I am happy to be your trusted resource to guide you through the complex maze of real estate options and decisions, whether buying, selling, building, or investing.
I have lived in Shenandoah County all my life and know the people of Strasburg and Shenandoah County and surrounding areas extremely well. I believe the key to my success in both banking and real estate has been my commitment to exceptional customer service that only comes from getting to know people and fully understanding their needs.
I have two grown children and four grandchildren who are all very active at St. Paul Lutheran Church where I serve as Treasurer and a member of the Finance Committee. I love the Shenandoah Valley and have been actively involved with numerous charitable and civic organizations in the area.
I am also an avid fan of all Washington sports teams, especially the Washington Commanders and Nationals, enjoy traveling, going to the beach, and playing golf when I can find the time.
When you meet me, you will immediately appreciate my calm, reserved demeanor that emanates confidence and know-how. Making a sale is not my top priority. Getting to know you and talking with you to understand your needs and expectations is essential. Buying or selling a home is one of the most important decisions you’ll face in your lifetime. The process can be very stressful, but my decades of experience and proficiency in the business will help minimize anxiety and provide the best path to accomplishing your real estate goals.
