Success Story

I’ve always loved real estate and I have an old school instructor to thank for my decision to work in the industry. I would often help him with home improvement projects as a kid and he would talk to me about the importance of buying property as soon as I was able. I took these lessons to heart, and one of the first things I did after graduating from The Ohio State University in 1983 was buy my first property, a duplex in Montgomery, Alabama. Not only did I love the home buying experience, but I learned early on that investment property ownership helped me build wealth and instilled in me a sense of pride in what I was capable of doing on my own.

My interest in real estate never waned as I got married and move back to Ohio and started working in the engineering department after 3 years down south. My time at Honda was truly an adventure: I led project teams from the early development of the new model, all the way to mass production. It was so gratifying to see the final product roll off of the assembly line. Since leaving Honda in 2006, I continued to invest in real estate.

I even bought income properties when my older children turned 3, kept them with tenants paying the mortgage, and then turned them over to my children when they turned 18 to either pay for their college educations. My son borrowed against his to pay for his college, and has kept it ever since. My daughter sold hers and graduated from college with honors, debt-free,

What I enjoy most about being a Realtor® is that my job combines my love of real estate with my honed skills as a strategic advisor. I recognize that every one of my clients is unique and I prioritize building relationships first so that I can develop a real estate strategy tailored to their specific wants and needs. I’ve found that not only does this approach help my clients achieve their goals, but it also has the added bonus of developing meaningful relationships that transcend the transaction.

When I'm not doing the job I love, I am exploring all that Columbus has to offer with my family. From golfing in the summer season to watching my daughter play volleyball during her club season, there's always something new to discover in this incredible area. Having lived all across the country and around the world, Columbus has become my final "homeport" and I can't imagine living anywhere else.
