Born in Muskogee, Oklahoma, I relocated to central Illinois at age eleven and graduated from PORTA High School in Petersburg. I began my career in hospitality management in Springfield, Illinois, where I developed a strong foundation in customer service and client care. After meeting my wife, I moved to the Peoria area, where we have built a life together for over 20 years. We are proud parents of two teenage children who inspire me every day, and our family includes two Australian Shepherds who are a big part of our lives.
Before transitioning into real estate, I spent more than 20 years in hospitality management. That experience shaped my commitment to exceptional service and taught me the importance of putting clients first. I value the trust my clients place in me and strive to exceed expectations through clear communication, dedication, and attention to detail. Building lasting relationships is at the core of my business, and many of my clients come through referrals.
I have a deep appreciation for the outdoors and enjoy fishing, hunting, hiking, and boating. These activities help me stay grounded and provide valuable time with my family, whether we’re on the water or enjoying a quiet day outdoors.
I am also passionate about giving back and volunteer throughout the year with local organizations, taking pride in supporting and strengthening our community.
