I moved to the western mountains of North Carolina known as the High Country in 2002. My wife, Janet, and I purchased property years ago with plans, like many of you, to retire in this majestic setting that God created.

After starting several manufacturing businesses and marketing companies, I was literally trapped in what we know as the business “Rat Race”, living part time in New York City, South Florida, where my corporate offices were located, and choosing to live in Central Florida in the Orlando area. My life was forever changed on September 11, 2001. While leaving my apartment on the upper Westside of Manhattan, I watched what would become a defining moment in my life. I truly believe "We Will Never Forget the terror of 9/11".

I made a commitment to simplify my life and spend more time with my wife, daughter and son. Yes, it was time to move to the mountains.

Janet my wife of 32 years this March live in Valle Crucis with her cat “Sherlock” and my pound hound “Watson”. My daughter Dana lives nearby in Hudson going to school for a degree in Medical Radiography. My son has come back from Orlando and is a Broker in my Boone office. He is marrying my assistant Whitney Hill in April 2008. Life is GOOD!

After 30 years of large business entrepreneurial endeavors, I chose a career in Real Estate.

I am full time in real estate, and although I try to live a laid back life, I commit 100% professional effort to my real estate business and my RE/MAX franchise. I will save you time and money as your agent "I GUARANTEE THAT PROMISE
