Growing up in Central Ohio, the Midwestern roots of my youth are heavily instilled in me. From my work ethic to my demeanor, I am a believer in getting the job done and getting it done the right way for my clients. In college, at the University of Dayton, I worked third shift for a large manufacturing company, putting myself through undergrad. After graduation, the company moved me to Atlanta, where I worked as a systems analyst for the next five years. It was in 2004, when I realized I was spending more time dreaming about the beauty in old houses and exploring the unique neighborhoods in Atlanta than I did getting excited to go to my corporate job every day, that I decided I needed a new career. So after talking to a friend in the business, I got my real estate license and started dabbling in it. I was selling a couple of houses a month and after a year of learning the ins and outs of the business, I took a leap, leaving my job and beginning a new adventure that allowed me to work daily with what I’m passionate about – tapping into my knowledge of local communities and being the go-to resource to my clients. My timing was impeccable…not long after I got into real estate full-time, the Great Recession occurred. I knew I had to make a go of it, so I dug in my heels, putting that Midwestern upbringing to the forefront, and forged ahead. I steadily grew my business in a down economy and began adding team members. By being trusted advisors, we provide advice, guidance, and our expertise on the home buying process, the market, and the big picture goals of our clients, so that our clients can make the decisions that are best for them and their families. On a personal note, I’ve been married since 2006, have twin daughters, and a big ol' Staffordshire Terrier that is the biggest baby I've ever met, but is also a top tier snuggler. I enjoy restoring my 1997 Jeep Wrangler, spending time on the lake, coaching youth soccer and volunteering in my community. We moved to Madison, GA - a postcard perfect southern town that is perfectly situated at the crossroads to some of the most exciting places in Georgia - right between Lake Country, Middle Georgia, Athens Georgia and of course the Atlanta Metropolis. Its even pretty close to the mountains and the beaches! So it seemed like a great idea to start a Co-Op Workspace in downtown Madison called The Exchange - https://theexchangemadisonga.com/ - because supporting small business and entrepreneurs is one of the most exciting things I can think to do. Everyday my goal is to help others – from my team members, to my family and friends, to the community – I strive to be a positive influence, a steady voice, and above all let my integrity lead the way. I’m thrilled to be on this journey and look forward to serving you in your real estate needs.
