Local Roots That Matter
I’ve lived in Scottsdale, Tempe, Chandler, Paradise Valley, North Phoenix, Anthem, and for more than two decades in North Peoria’s Vistancia community. Growing up and attending high school in Scottsdale gave me an early connection to the area, and those roots have only deepened over time. When I talk about neighborhoods, schools, commute patterns, or what different parts of the Valley feel like day-to-day, it’s based on lived experience—not just research.
This local perspective helps me guide buyers toward areas that truly fit their lifestyle and help sellers understand how buyers view their specific community and property.
Professional Background
- Lifelong sales experience and more than 30 years running my own businesses, which taught me how to listen carefully, solve problems, and follow through.
- Five years in the mortgage industry (2003–2008), giving me practical insight into financing, underwriting realities, and what lenders look for.
- Long-standing partnership with a Scottsdale specialist who has 37 years of market experience and whom I have known for over 42 years.
- I bring these skills and that trusted collaboration to every client relationship. My goal is straightforward: clear communication, careful attention to detail, and representation that puts your interests first.
How I Work
Whether you’re buying your first home, moving within the Valley, relocating, or selling a property you’ve owned for years, I focus on understanding your priorities and then delivering practical guidance. You’ll hear from me regularly, receive honest feedback, and always know the next step.
Working in partnership with someone I have known and trusted for more than four decades means I can draw on proven local insight while giving you the responsive, hands-on service that matters in a competitive market.
A Bit About Me Personally
I’ve been married for 26 years and we have three children—an eldest daughter followed by two boys. Outside of real estate I play golf weekly, one of the many things I appreciate about living in the Valley.
I attended Arizona State University, studying business and marketing, before stepping fully into my career path. Those early years of learning the fundamentals of business have continued to influence how I approach client relationships and problem-solving today.
I’ve also had the privilege of working with and for two nonprofit organizations, traveling extensively to serve communities in need. Over the course of more than 35 trips, I’ve spent time in Myanmar (Burma), Uganda, Peru, Ecuador, and the Dominican Republic. Those experiences reinforced the value of listening carefully, adapting to different situations, and focusing on meaningful results—qualities I bring to every real estate transaction.
During high school in Scottsdale, I lettered in both basketball and baseball and earned all-state recognition in each sport. The lessons of teamwork, preparation, and competing with integrity from those years still shape how I work with clients.
If you’re thinking about buying or selling in Scottsdale, Peoria, Vistancia, or nearby communities, I’d welcome the chance to talk. Whether you have a specific timeline or are just starting to explore options, reach out for a conversation with no pressure.
I’m proud to call the greater Phoenix area home and look forward to helping you with your next real estate move.
