I am an Entrepreneur with business experience and knowledge that I apply to the real estate industry. I have controlling interest in 7 local companies in both the service and retail industries. I have also personally bought, merged, and sold businesses. I just love business and fully understand what it takes to run the daily operations, payroll, insurances, taxes, etc.

Licensed in real estate in 1993 while living in Jacksonville Florida, then 2002 in Fayetteville NC. I have personally bought, maintained, and sold commercial property. I also control a multi-million dollar personal portfolio consisting of both commercial and residential rental properties. The analysis, evaluation, and decision process is something I am very familiar with from my many years of experience. I understand the seller side, buyer side, landlord & tenant sides, and the hired Broker's role in every transaction or property management situation presented.
