I am a real estate broker in Silverdale, Washington who loves to work with clients around the Hood Canal, including Seabeck, Poulsbo, Bremerton, and Port Orchard in Kitsap County. I fell into a real estate career in 1993 after graduating from the University of Washington (Go Dawgs!). At that time, I had no idea real estate would become my passion. I also didn't know that empowering and educating clients to help them build their wealth through home ownership would be something that compels me to get up every morning. Through transparent communication and a wealth of experience, I thoroughly enjoy walking through the homebuying process whether you are a first-time homebuyer or veteran investor. It is my joy to help you achieve your real estate goals.
On Thanksgiving morning, 2018, I experienced severe adversity. I became completely paralyzed from the waist down due to an Arterial-Venous Fistula in my spine that neither I nor my doctors knew was there. This adversity has given me a very strong understanding of the needs of our clients with disabilities and those with limited mobility. I spent a month in the hospital and several months getting around in a wheelchair. I continue my own journey of recovery and am thankful for mental toughness and a strong work ethic to allow me to continue to serve our clients.
Originally from the New Orleans area, I moved to Puyallup, Washington at age 9. I grew up in the Edgewood area of Puyallup and graduated from Puyallup High School. I graduated from the University of Washington with a BA in Philosophy. I moved to Kitsap County in 1993 and have been here since. I enjoy music, physical fitness, mountaineering, skiing, mountain biking, dirt biking, food, red wine, interesting conversation, and personal growth.
