Guided by kindness and authenticity, my journey has been a dynamic one—from professional soccer to REALTOR®. Each step has shaped my mission: to encourage and empower others, helping them find not just houses, but homes that inspire their next chapters. I’ve always believed in being a force for good in the world—a philosophy instilled in me during my childhood in Maryland. My parents taught me two essential principles: be kind to others and listen to yourself. They encouraged me to pursue my passions, and for me, that passion was soccer.
Soccer became my anchor. From captaining my high school team to competing at state, regional, and national levels, it shaped who I am today. My proudest moment was earning a spot on the U-21 Pan-American USA team, where I won a gold medal—one step shy of the Olympic team. With my parents often unavailable, soccer became my mentor, teaching me discipline, accountability, and confidence in my abilities.
Among the many coaches I had, Dave stood out. He was honest but compassionate, always pushing me to improve while offering unwavering support (even bringing soup when I was sick). From him, I learned that honest communication is a gift—a lesson that made me the straightforward, no-nonsense person I am today.
Soccer also opened doors for my education. With a full scholarship, I earned a master’s degree in education, learning through challenges like writing a thesis that consistent improvement is the key to success. However, my playing days ended after a career-ending injury. Transitioning from the field to coaching and teaching brought new opportunities, but I eventually found myself asking, What’s next? That’s when real estate called to me. Inspired by my grandfather, a builder who found joy in creating homes, I moved to New Jersey to start fresh. I didn’t know a soul, but I was determined. After earning my real estate license, I quickly realized this career was more than selling houses—it was about creating happiness and being a source of support for others.
By 2015, my life seemed picture-perfect. I was married to Meg, and we had two wonderful children, Peyton and Rory. Over time, life’s challenges led us to reevaluate our path together. While our journey as a couple came to an end, we made the decision to embrace co-parenting, ensuring our children’s happiness and well-being remained our shared priority. This chapter of my life inspired a journey of self-discovery. I learned to slow down, reflect, and rebuild, becoming a stronger and more compassionate version of myself. It was a time of growth that deepened my commitment to living authentically and focusing on what truly matters.
Today, I share my life with Jules, a wonderful partner, and together we are raising a beautiful blended family.
With Peyton and Rory, along with Jules’ children, Landon, Mila, and Caleb, our home is filled with love, laughter, and a deep sense of connection. 
We’ve worked hard to create a harmonious and welcoming environment where everyone feels supported and included—even around the holiday table.
When I’m not with my family, you’ll find me at CrossFit, where my gym community has become a source of inspiration and joy. Life hasn’t always been easy, but it has been generous, offering me lessons, love, and opportunities to grow. Through it all, I’ve stayed true to my guiding principles: follow your heart, treat others with kindness, and remain open to new beginnings. It’s this philosophy that drives my passion for helping others find not just houses, but homes—spaces where they can create their own joyful stories.
I approach real estate with the belief that a home is more than just a structure—it’s the foundation for a family’s future. My goal is to guide my clients toward success by simplifying the process, reducing stress, and providing care and clarity at every step. Life is challenging enough; buying or selling a home shouldn’t be.
Clients often describe working with me as fun and energizing. I bring laughter and positivity to every interaction while empowering my clients with thoughtful analysis and expert guidance. My philosophy is simple: everything is negotiable, and the decision is always yours. I never rush a sale or push an agenda.
With years of experience, I can identify selling strategies others may miss, protecting my clients from impulsive choices. Authenticity is the foundation of my work—I offer honest advice rooted in what’s best for my clients. Whether you’re buying or selling, I’m here to make your real estate journey as smooth and rewarding as possible.
