Overview: After 30 plus years in national defense, both in uniform and out, I made a lifestyle change.  I started a different career after moving back home to Michigan close to family and friends. I have always had a keen interest in real estate as well as a strong desire to run my own business. Joining the team at RE/MAX Classic was a natural fit.

Guiding Philosophy:  “Do The Right Thing”     Treat everyone with fairness, honesty and respect. Put your client’s interest ahead of your own.   Enjoy what do each day and keep a sense of humor about you.

My Business Model:     Take on only a small number of clients. Focus solely on their needs rather than try to be a high volume sales person who becomes stretched too thin. Always deliver unsurpassed customer service. Currently 90% of my business is generated by referrals from present or past clients.
