EXPERIENCE AND BACKGROUND

I have spent my entire career in the South Carolina Upstate passionately promoting all the great things this area has to offer. From market research to economic development, I have spent more than 25 years in the business of promoting economic growth, and industrial and commercial development. Since 1980, my experience has included working with a regional planning agency, owning my own market research firm and working with one the of the area’s largest commercial real estate companies. From this vast perspective, and as a Greenville native, I have monitored the phenomenal growth of our area and have witnessed the dynamic progress we have made in the quality of life of Upstate residents.

This is the same passion that I bring to RE/MAX Realty Professionals as Marketing Assistant. With my extensive knowledge of the Greater Greenville area, I can assist our clients with many relocation decisions and learning more about their new hometown. I welcome the opportunity to assist anyone who wishes to learn about our area’s unique character and Southern hospitality.

On many weekends I attend weddings with my daughter who is a professional musician.
