I was born in Shelby, North Carolina, and my wife, Dani, our daughter Landri, and I have been proud to call the Jacksonville area home since 2000. Dani and I have been married for 32 years, and Eastern North Carolina has truly become home for our family.
My connection to the military began long before I put on a uniform. Growing up as the child of an active-duty military member, I had the opportunity to travel and live all over the world. After high school, the military lifestyle was still
very much a part of who I was, so I joined the United States Navy and went on to serve 26 years on active duty.
Between my experiences growing up in a military family and my own career in the Navy, I understand firsthand what it means to relocate a family. I know the excitement that comes with a new duty station, but I also understand the uncertainty, tight timelines, and stress that can come with finding a new home while managing everything else that goes along with a PCS move.
Throughout the years, my family and I were fortunate to work with some great Realtors who made those transitions easier. I came to truly appreciate the difference a knowledgeable and caring real estate professional can make during one of life's biggest transitions. That experience ultimately inspired me to pursue a career in real estate after my military service.
Now, with 8 years of experience as a Realtor, I've had the privilege of helping families navigate those same important transitions. My military background gives me a personal understanding of relocation, while my years in real estate have given me the experience and local knowledge to help buyers and sellers make informed decisions with confidence.
Today, I'm proud to serve Jacksonville, New Bern, and the surrounding Eastern North Carolina communities with Century 21 Coastal Advantage. My goal isn't simply to help someone complete a real estate transaction. It's to provide the same level of guidance, patience, and support that my family received over the years.
Whether you're relocating to Eastern North Carolina, looking for a temporary rental, buying your first home, searching for your dream home, or preparing to sell your current residence, my goal is simple: to help you and your family have the best experience possible from beginning to end.
