Built Different.
I was born in West Palm Beach, Florida, and moved to beautiful Asheville in high school in
1979. I’ve now spent over 40 years here, raising my two wonderful sons and
watching this incredible mountain town grow into the vibrant, welcoming city it
is today.
When I’m not working with clients, you’ll find me enjoying everything that
makes Asheville so special — biking, running, kayaking, and hiking in the Blue
Ridge Mountains. I love our amazing independent restaurants, local art and
music scene, and sharing the beauty of WNC with friends and family.
Music has always been close to my heart. I enjoy attending performances by
the Asheville Symphony and
experiencing the incredible live music scene that makes Asheville so unique.
From intimate venues to larger performances, there’s always something inspiring
happening here. There truly is something for everyone, and it’s a wonderful
place to call HOME.
Community is very important to me. Over the years, I’ve had the privilege of
volunteering with organizations such as Habitat
for Humanity, Meals
on Wheels, New Direction
Ministries, Hearts with Hands, and ABCCM.
Giving back to the community that has given so much to me is something I truly
value.
Before real estate, I co-owned an upscale furniture and accessories
consignment store here in Asheville. That experience not only allowed me to
build lasting relationships — many customers became lifelong friends — but also
gave me a strong eye for preparing and staging homes. I genuinely love helping
sellers get their homes ready to shine and make the very best first impression
when they hit the market.
Whether I’m working with buyers, first-time homeowners, or listing a
property, my goal is always the same: to make the process smooth, positive, and
even enjoyable. Buying or selling a home is more than a transaction — it’s a
life moment. Being trusted to walk
alongside my clients during those important moments is something I never take
for granted. I would truly be honored to help you find not just a house, but a
place to call home.
