Biography:

I moved to northwest Gainesville in 1974. After graduating from high school, I left Gainesville to pursue a business education at Duke University and a MBA in marketing from The Wharton School of Business. After a ten year career in marketing, I returned to my hometown Gainesville and pursued my interest in real estate. Having been a real estate investor for years, I turned my passion into a career by becoming a full-time Realtor.

With my background and expertise in marketing, I have experienced tremendous success in my new career. In my first year, I sold almost $5 million in real estate and in the first half of 2007, I surpassed $6 million in sales. My accolades include a nomination for the Gainesville Sun's Community Service Award, the 2006 Leaders' Circle Award from the Gainesville-Alachua County Association of Realtors (GACAR), membership in the 2006 GACAR Honor Society and a nomination for Realtor of the Month.

In addition to working full time as a Realtor, I am an active volunteer in the community, earning a nomination for the Gainesville Sun's Community Service Award in 2006. I have served on the PTA board at Wiles Elementary for several years, as well as on my neighborhood's HOA board. I am active teaching Gainesville's youth at my church, and assisting with homelessness in our community. Most importantly, I have two daughters with whom I devote significant time.
