So how does one write these biography things?  Am I supposed to relate to customers on a personal level and talk about my family, pets, and long walks on the beach?  Am I supposed to brag about myself and tell you how fantastic I am?  Or maybe I should just talk about CrossFit and Craft Beer for an hour and a half...

​

     Here's what you need to know about me for consideration to work with us:

 

     I am a former United States Marine who served for 8 years in different corners of the world.  I learned my integrity and work ethic from our United States Marine Corps which absolutely translates into my work.

 

     I have been appraising real estate for over a decade now in South Carolina, North Carolina, Colorado, Texas, West Virginia and Virginia (no longer active in Virginia).  The reason for the year in Virginia is that I moved to Washington DC to earn my Master of Science of Real Estate and Infrastructure from Johns Hopkins University.  This experience and education translates into my work as well.

​

     I understand the processes of real estate transactions and the headaches that can emerge in dealing with these processes.  I can relate.  I remember buying my first house and the butterflies in my stomach that would not go away for weeks.  I remember buying my first rental and second guessing myself through the process to wonder if I had calculated the cash flow correctly.  I remember purchasing our first fix and flip and working on the house into the early hours of the weekend mornings, praying the the house would generate the profit that we expected.  Not only do I understand the numbers and processes of real estate transactions, I can empathize with the feelings and emotions that come with these transactions.

​

     So to recap:​

​

     My work ethic and integrity are second to none.

​

     I have more education in real estate, finance, and valuation than most other real estate appraisers and real estate consultants in the country.

​​

     I understand the challenges that you or your clients will be facing and can relate.

​

     I like long walks on the beach.

P.S.  Check out this totally not staged, working-in-action photo.  The mouse pad to my right is a flowered design with a calligraphy of 'Thug Life' on it.

     Peace out, Homies.
