About

With family going back four generations in Belleville,

Smithton area, I know the Metro East from St. Clair to

Madison and Monroe counties like the back of my hand

and help clients in every one of those areas. I went to

high school here and graduated from SIUE before

meeting my wife and moving away.

My favorite part of real estate is educating first-time home

buyers, catching up with repeat clients and assisting

those downsizing. I explain topics in an easily digestible

manner so that my clients can make informed decisions.

My experience in insurance sparked my interest in real

estate as I was intrigued by the valuation process when

building insurance quotes for people. I am still fascinated

with valuations and have completed a certification class

to become a licensed Real Estate Appraiser. Although, I

will continue to work as a Realtor because I love working

with people. I never meet a stranger and look forward to

making new relationships through real estate.

I cherish the relationship that I have with my wife above all

else. For the last 20+ years, her career has taken us on a

journey across the US. This experience helps me

understand the nuances and stressors of moving into a

new house and relocating to a new community. With her

retirement, we have recently moved back and plan to stay

here. One of the things I love, in addition to the true

Midwestern mentality, is the small community gatherings,

picnics, and community involvement that I haven’t seen

anywhere else.
