I was born and raised on the NW side of Chicago. I spent the early years in my career in the data processing / computer field. Although growing up in the Midwest was a fine experience, I knew at an early age that I would leave Illinois. After visiting Arizona for the first time, I was immediately taken in by the wide open spaces, warm weather and the gorgeous rugged landscape that the Desert had to offer.

Janet and I moved to Phoenix in 1984 and I purchased a small business and Janet began her career in Real Estate . It wasn’t long after that I decided to sell our business, obtain my real estate license to join and help her with her thriving Real Estate business. Working together, we have been Top Team for Realty Executives for many of the years we have been with the company. There were several years, Janet and I were the number one team not only in Phoenix with Realty Executives, but internationally.

In 2017, we will be celebrating 35 years of marriage and I will have been with Realty Executives for 28 years. We have two boys, both married, and a grand-daughter.

Growing up in Cave Creek, I fell in love with the Arizona landscape and all it has to offer. I understand one’s desire to live in an area with such beautiful surroundings. However, I am familiar with so much more. Playing hockey in Scottsdale and Peoria allowed me to spend a significant amount of time in each city and develop a familiarity with their surroundings. I lived in Tempe while earning a degree in Kinesiology at ASU, further expanding my awareness south of Phoenix. My experience has given me an understanding of all there is to offer around Phoenix and does not limit me to one specific area. Since becoming licensed, I have experiences from both ends of the spectrum from working with new buyers, veteran buyers, and investors looking to remodel/fix up homes. Understanding the value in Real Estate Investing, I have already started my own portfolio. I have also been able to grow my knowledge of the industry as I acquired my license in the state of Tennessee. This has greatly improved my understanding of real estate in different markets.

My main goal is to provide you with an experience that will satisfy your real estate needs. My attention to detail, motivation, and patience will allow you to work through the process while maintaining your level of comfort.
