“I believe in being thoroughly prepared, communicating openly, and staying ahead of potential issues so my clients can feel confident throughout the process.”

With more than a decade of real estate experience and nearly 20 years calling Asheville home, I bring a deep knowledge of the local market, an eye for detail, and a genuine appreciation for what makes Western North Carolina such a special place to live. My background as a business owner in hospitality, art, and design has also taught me a thing or two about making people feel at home and recognizing the potential in a property.

After attending the College of Charleston, I managed and co-owned some of Charleston's best-known restaurants and nightspots. My wife's career in television eventually took our family to Miami and Los Angeles. As the entrepreneur in the family, I was the "flexible" one, building businesses and getting to know new communities along the way.

We chose to move to Asheville in 2007 to raise our children and enjoy life in these beautiful mountains. Since then, I've watched Asheville and its surrounding communities grow and change in remarkable ways. As the former owner of Clingman Café in the River Arts District and a founding member of the River Arts District Business Association, I've built lasting relationships throughout the region and developed a trusted network of professionals who are often invaluable resources for my buyers and sellers.

Having bought and sold homes in several very different markets myself, I understand what it's like to make a move, whether across town or across the country. I also know that even the most exciting real estate transaction can come with plenty of questions. I believe in being thoroughly prepared, communicating openly, and staying ahead of potential issues so my clients can feel confident throughout the process.

Since 2015, I've been consistently recognized among the AVL Top 100 Realtors and hold the Guild designation from the Institute for Luxury Home Marketing. But what means the most to me is the trust of the many clients who return to work with me or recommend me to their friends and family.

Whether you're a longtime resident looking for something different or are discovering Western North Carolina for the first time, I'd welcome the opportunity to put my experience and local connections to work for you.
