Meet Your Charleston Real Estate Partner

Buying or selling a home — especially when relocating — is one of life’s most stressful transitions. I understand that firsthand. As a transplant myself, moving to beautiful Charleston from another state, I know how overwhelming it can be to start fresh, find the right home, and build a new life.

That’s why choosing a real estate agent you can genuinely trust matters.

Before entering real estate, I spent my life serving others as a minister — listening deeply, guiding with care, and building trust through integrity. Now, I bring that same heart and commitment to my work as a Realtor®. My focus is simple: helping people navigate major life changes with honesty, attention to detail, and peace of mind.

Whether you're relocating to Charleston, moving across town, or preparing to sell your home, I’ll walk with you every step of the way — making the process clear, calm, and even enjoyable.

Let’s make your next move a great one.

About Me

I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area and attended Bethany College, where I met my wife, Diane. We've now been happily married for over 35 years and are proud parents to one daughter. Shortly after our wedding, we moved to the Chicago area for a brief season while I earned my M.A. in Cross-Cultural Communication. Eventually, we returned to California — a place we still hold dear.

Like many young families, we faced challenges entering the housing market, especially on a minister’s income. But thanks to some incredibly caring and creative Realtors®, we were able to find homes where our family could truly flourish. Their dedication left a lasting impact on me — one I now carry into my own work as a real estate agent.

After the pandemic, we felt called to make a bold move — a fresh start across the country in beautiful Charleston. While exciting, it was also intimidating and emotional. That experience gives me deep empathy for clients relocating or navigating major life transitions. I don’t just bring market knowledge — I offer genuine care, guidance, and a steady hand through what can be a stressful journey.

In addition to being a retired minister and licensed Realtor®, I’m also an artist and content creator. I invite you to explore my website to view (and maybe purchase) some of my artwork — the perfect finishing touch for your new home. You can also catch me on one of my YouTube channels. Click Here
