I've been a Realtor since 2012, helping buyers, sellers, investors, and families navigate the Tampa Bay real estate market throughout Pinellas, Hillsborough, Manatee, and Sarasota counties.

My experience in real estate began before I became an agent. I spent four years as a residential mortgage loan originator and approximately 10 years working in publishing, advertising, direct mail, and marketing. During that time, I managed a staff of 15 employees, worked directly with business owners, CEOs, and CFOs, negotiated annual contracts, and developed marketing programs designed around each client’s goals and budget.

That background continues to influence the way I approach real estate today.

My goal is simple: communicate clearly, provide complete transparency, understand the numbers, and be a strong advocate for my clients. I’m analytical and highly responsive, and I believe clients should always understand what is happening during their transaction and why.

When it comes to negotiating, I focus on establishing value and staying firm when necessary. Whether I’m representing a buyer or seller, my responsibility is to protect my client’s interests while working toward the best possible outcome.

Over the years, I’ve worked with a wide variety of Tampa Bay properties, including single-family homes, condominiums, waterfront homes, luxury properties, investment properties, new construction, 55+ communities, and Florida vacation and second homes. I particularly enjoy working with first-time homebuyers and helping them understand the process so they can make informed and confident decisions.

Property valuation is also an important part of my experience. In addition to preparing comparative market analyses for buyers and sellers, I have worked with asset managers providing broker price opinions for national companies and real estate investors. That experience gives me an analytical perspective when evaluating property values, market conditions, and potential opportunities.

Marketing is another area where my background provides a unique advantage. I have extensive experience with advertising, direct mail, digital marketing, and targeting buyers outside the local market. Today, I combine that experience with modern real estate marketing tools, including AI technology, drone photography, online advertising, and strategies designed to reach both local buyers and people relocating to Florida.

I’ve lived in the Tampa Bay area for more than 20 years after relocating from a small town in Northern Illinois. Because I made that move myself, I understand many of the questions people have when considering a move to Florida. My local experience includes knowledge of neighborhoods, schools, beaches, flood zones, waterfront property, condominiums, new construction, restaurants, recreation, sports, and the overall Tampa Bay lifestyle.

Outside of real estate, I’m a husband, father of two boys, golfer, traveler, and longtime youth sports coach. I’ve coached youth baseball for eight years and have been involved in youth sports for more than 20 years.

For me, real estate is about quality over quantity. I’m not interested in having the most clients. I’m interested in making sure the clients I do work with receive my attention, honest advice, thorough communication, and knowledgeable representation.

My goal is for every client to feel like they had someone in their corner—and hopefully enjoy the experience along the way.
