Born and raised in Baltimore, Maryland, the sixth of ten children, I learned from my parents the core values of faith, family, community, ambition, and personal industry (good, old fashioned hard work). Upon graduation from high school, I attended Frostburg State College (University of Maryland, Frostburg Campus). Graduating four years later with a Bachelor of Science Degree in Health and Physical education, I taught school for a year before setting out to fulfill a long-time ambition of serving my country in the United States Marine Corps. During my 22-year active duty service in the marines, I worked part time while simultaneously studying to earn a master's degree in personnel management and raising two children. My independent, entrepreneurial spirit, the allure of adventure and a desire to spread the Gospel of Jesus Christ led me to the establishment and operation of a Christian Education and Learning Center in Okinawa Japan, and ordination and licensure as an evangelical minister. Eventually, I added to my resume the exciting career of real estate. I began a part time career in real estate in 1998 with Century 21 in Southern Maryland. Military relocation orders took me to Washington State, and eventually to military retirement and the resumption of a teaching career as a Navy JROTC instructor. During this period, I was blessed, not only to have the opportunity to achieve another life-long aspiration of receiving my Doctorates degree in Management and Organizational Leadership, but also to become a published author. My first work in print is titled Core Values: The Styles and Practices of Successful Military Leaders. The same passion with which I have always pursued and accomplished my life goals, continues to inspire and push me toward success in my real estate career. However, for me success is not measured simply by what I have accomplished, but also by what I am able to help others accomplish. I believe that God blesses us so that we might be a blessing to others. I am fully committed to serving you, the real estate client, with integrity, honor and faithfulness. My motto: Grace and Faith in Every Transaction, Integrity in Every Action.
"Semper Fidelis" (Always Faithful)
