I grew up on a small farm in Birchwood, Tennessee, where my dad — a Church of God pastor — taught me early that "People don't care how much you know until they know how much you care." Those lessons from humble beginnings shaped the man I am today.
I graduated from Chattanooga Central High School and earned a B.S. in Education from MTSU. I then spent 16 years teaching and eight years coaching middle school basketball in Wilson County, leading my teams to three State Championships.
I'm beyond grateful to be married to the most beautiful and amazing woman in the world. Shannon and I are celebrating 24 wonderful years together, and she has been my greatest encourager in every sense. We're blessed with two incredible children, Maleah and Finley, and together we're faithful members of North Cleveland Church of God.
Alongside education, I developed deep roots in construction — apprenticing under tradesmen at MTSU before becoming a licensed contractor. Shannon and I flipped approximately 20 homes in Nashville and built a business from our home into a full facility before eventually selling it. Those experiences gave me firsthand knowledge of design, renovation, market value, and entrepreneurship.
After returning to the Cleveland area to raise our family, I felt God calling me toward a new chapter. In July 2016, I became a licensed REALTOR®, and it's been one of the best decisions of my life. I've been honored to earn recognition as a Top Overall Producer, Top Listing Agent, and Platinum Multi-Million Dollar Producer for RE/MAX Experience.
My background in construction, business, teaching, and real estate investment gives me a unique perspective — I've been the buyer and seller many times over. Helping people is my passion, real estate is my calling, and every day I am grateful.
To God be all the praise, honor, and glory.
