As a lifelong Naples resident with deep roots in the community, I take pride in equitable, informed real estate transactions. My family has been active in South Florida real estate since the 1950s — from my grandfather and grandmother to my great uncle and cousins — and I'm proud to carry that tradition forward.
While most of my family graduated from the University of Florida, I carved my own path with a Bachelor of Science in Real Estate from Florida State University’s College of Business. (Go Noles!) FSU’s Real Estate program consistently ranks among the top 10 in the nation and includes rigorous coursework in Real Estate Law, Finance, Valuation & Appraisal, Investment Analysis, Market Analysis, and Property Management.
I've always been generally fond of numbers and finding commonalities — beginning with National Junior Mathematics club, Mu Alpha Theta, debate and other academic clubs — and evolving further through leadership roles in student government, IFC, and positions like valet/ bellhop manager. These experiences taught me how to communicate across perspectives and strive for mutual understanding — a skill I strive to bring to every transaction. If it's competitive — I'm in it to win, but if it can benefit everyone involved — I'll do anything I can to be the bridge.
It's due to the aforementioned varied academic and workplace background that I'm a firm believer in the Collier County Public School system and the opportunities it provided me with throughout Elementary, Middle and High School. However, I have plenty of relationships with parents of current students and alumni of various local private and charter schools should any questions pertaining to those arise.
It's important to me that I maintain my outdoorsmanship and contribution to the community when possible. I’m a pet lover, sight fisherman, golfer, disc golfer, duck hunter, western horseback rider and cutter, and a motorcycle rider and mechanic. I’m also passionate about food, travel, music (as a guitarist and fan), and performing arts — having modeled for local nonprofit events and acted in local productions.
As part of the Naples Home Connection team, I focus on clear communication, market insight, and helping you find your place in this wonderful community. Whether you're buying, selling, or simply exploring Naples, I’d be happy to introduce you not only to the real estate market — but to the lifestyle that makes this place so special.
