I’m a natural mentor with a passion for building lasting relationships. By combining an extensive network with deep knowledge of Atlanta’s housing market, I help clients confidently navigate every stage of buying or selling a home. My positive outlook, servant’s heart, and strong communication skills create a constructive, low-stress experience from start to finish.

I was born in Flint, Michigan, and have always been drawn to creative, people-focused work. Before earning a degree in education from Lee University, I spent nearly a decade building houses with my best friend. After moving to Atlanta, I served students, parents, and teachers in Gwinnett County for 12 years as a teacher and assistant principal, then spent five years as a middle school principal at Perimeter School in Johns Creek. Eventually, my love for real estate and community building led me to a full-time career as a REALTOR®.

Clients often tell me they feel truly known and supported throughout the process. Whether negotiating a win for everyone at the closing table or offering resources long after the sale, I take time to understand each question, identify strengths, and address challenges so every move is made from a position of confidence. From first-time buyers to those downsizing or seeking a second home, I enjoy helping people find the perfect fit and feel at home in Georgia.

Community is at the heart of who I am. I mentor men, serve as an elder in my local church, and belong to the Southwest Gwinnett Chamber of Commerce. My wife and I live in Buford with our three boys—ages 15, 12, and 8—and our two dogs, an Australian labradoodle and a golden retriever. When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me coaching lacrosse, catching a Braves game, exploring Atlanta’s food scene, or visiting the Hyde Museum with my wife.
