My family roots run deep in Tennessee from Lawrence County and through the Appalachain Mountains and though I grew up in Auburndale Florida, middle Tennessee and the Upper Cumberland have been home since 2007. My early career path began in grocery retail with Publix Supermarkets as a bakery Manager for over 14 years. I transferred from retail grocery to working in a family business with my dad owning and operating a small engine and outdoor power equipment service and repair while also offering new outdoor power equipment.

My move to Tennessee included a time of owning and operating a franchise bakery cafe, Great Harvest Bread Co. We were a wonderfully successful bakery operating 8 of the 16 years of its existence in Cookeville. That business was forced to close at no choice of mine and was a small favorite spot by so many in Cookeville. I was already licensed as a Tennessee Realtor while owning and operating the bakery, so it was only natural to continue the act of serving the community as a local Tennessee Realtor.

I have been licensed as a Realtor both in Florida and Tennessee since 2006. I have always enjoyed the opportunity to grow friendships and relationships that continue with everyones individual real estate journey. From land searches, short term/long term investment properties, first time home purchases and repeat clients that buy and sell, I enjoy assisting each buyer and seller while working hard to help relieve some of the stressful moments that often come with a real estate purchase or sale.

Now, not just a Lic Realtor but a Lic Broker, I continue to educate myself while pouring in to others to help them succeed.

My wife Nicole and I live in Sparta. We love our community and the surrounding Upper Cumberland area so much. We absolutely love to hike, Kayak and bike. We love our home church in Livingston where I serve leading worship services on rotation. Nicole and I also love small music venues and try to search out any local hot spot for a little singer songwriter kinda vibe night. We can also be found at the Schermorhorn Symphony Center taking in a breathtaking symphonic show.

One of our biggest delights comes as being new grandparents beginning 2024 and chasing our grand babies. We are truly Blessed and we are so thankful the Lord for Blessing us each and everyday.

My prayer is that I can be a good steward of how God Blesses and to serve each buyer or seller that I am able to assist.
