With over 25 years of sales and contract negotiations experience, including roles as a mortgage lender, certified real estate appraiser, and CEO/Owner of a successful medical recruitment company, I bring a wealth of expertise to help you navigate the luxury home market.

As a father of seven, I understand the importance of finding the perfect home that meets your family's needs and desires.

My commitment to exceptional customer service is rooted in a lifetime of community involvement, from serving as a police officer and volunteer firefighter in Ramsey, NJ, to coaching little league baseball in St. Louis, MO, and building homes with Habitat for Humanity in Bradenton and Sarasota, FL.

As a licensed Realtor with a deep connection to Southwest Florida, I am dedicated to providing you with a personalized real estate experience that saves you time and money while ensuring you find a home with all the amenities you desire, whether it is a beachfront property with stunning sunsets or a property backing to one of our amazing golf courses, I promise to find you what you want.

For a real estate journey guided by integrity, expertise, and a passion for helping others live happily in paradise, contact me today. Whether you're buying or selling, I promise to work tirelessly to exceed your expectations and make your real estate dreams a reality.
