About Me
I’m a proud “Hoosier,” born in Indianapolis, Indiana, raised in the small suburb of Speedway, home of the world famous Indianapolis 500.
I attended Indiana University, Bloomington, 1982, graduating from the Kelly School of Business, with a double major in Marketing/Management.
Following 2 decades in "corporate" real estate, and after the real estate "bust" of 2008, I became a real estate investor, “flipping,” then owning residential properties as a landlord. In 2012, I decided to get my real estate license and began helping others to become home owners and investors themselves.
For the past ten years I have been leading my “South Florida Real Estate Safari” to help others find and obtain their biggest and best deals!
Post graduation from IU, facing a fairly severe economic recession, I got creative with finding a career path and, as a long time fan of all things “Disney”, I researched the Walt Disney Co., and moved to Orlando, FL. Starting in Disney World’s Resort Division (my first real estate experience) I advanced through a progression of jobs and responsibilities in their Telecommunications division over the next 5 years.
1984: Disney purchased ARVIDA, a developer & owner of the Boca Raton Hotel among other residential & commercial properties. My Disney job duties frequently had me traveling to Boca and in 1988 I left Disney to take a position with a Boca Raton based firm specializing in hotel/resort telecommunications.
1994: I joined a start-up real estate software company to lead their marketing & sales group, and after ten years I rose to the position of Chief Executive Officer. In 2004, due to the serious illness of a close family member, I retired from the company. Five years later I was ready to get back into real estate and after earning a second college degree from Boca Raton’s Florida Atlantic University, I entered the residential real estate market.
My motto in real estate has always been “Providing Solutions and Delivering Dreams."
