I was born and raised in the small southwest Florida beachfront town of Englewood where I have been a resident for most of my life. After high school I received my college education in Orlando at the University of Central Florida. During my stint in Orlando I earned in addition to a Bachelors of Science in Marketing, my real estate and mortgage brokers license. Although I learned much from class and graduated with high marks, I believe the true worth of my education was in the networking and friends I made during college. Since graduation, I have returned to southwest Florida to reside in the city of Englewood with my beautiful wife, two sons and daughter. We have always loved this area not only due to the beaches, but more importantly our family and friends are here. I chose a career in real estate, or perhaps it chose me, I am not really sure anymore. I started off as a real estate sales agent which quickly blossomed into many exciting opportunities, including being a broker and owner of RE/MAX Palm Realty. My real estate ventures include ownership in Palm Realty Property Management a full service property management company, Palm Realty of Southwest Florida a rapid home renovation entity, SHIFT Real Estate Enterprises a rental holding company, Gulfcoast Insurance Team focused on providing consumers with homeowners insurance, Palm Realty Referral Services a referral agent brokerage and The Platinum Team a real estate sales group connecting Buyers with Sellers. I have met many people and learned much in this industry, so no matter what it is, from needing a plumber to a real estate attorney, I can point you in the right direction if not assist you directly.
