As a youngster I lived for several years each in West Virginia, Missouri, Kansas, Greece, and Brazil; the experiences and lessons learned there contributed to an appreciation for and understanding of people in all situations and walks of life.

The Jersey shore has been my heartland for over 45 years, having lived in Spring Lake, Spring Lake Heights, Shark River Hills, Toms River, and Island Heights. As a result, I am very familiar with the shore area and what it has to offer for education, recreation, employment and culture, and I have extensive knowledge in the area of residential real estate. 

For 29 years, I have had the privilege of working with young people in the public schools system. Now, as a retired educator, I am finally able to work with adults.  I have also been licensed in Life/Health Insurance, Property/Casualty Insurance, Securities, and Mortgage Origination. Finally, mix all this well with a sense of humor and a good heart, and you have me!
