I was born and raised in Western Pennsylvania in a little town outside of the Pittsburgh area.   After attending college, I worked for U. S. Steel Corp. and H.J. Heinz  until the late 70's, at which time I pursued my interest in the legal profession and went to work with a  small firm in Pennsylvania for 8 years. Seeking a new challenge, I moved to Melbourne, Florida in 1987, where I continued the legal profession as a paralegal until 2001.  

 I made my first visit to Ashe County in May of 1995.  My love for the area led me to revisit again during my favorite time of the year, the Fall of 1995.  Falling in love with the area, I purchased river front property along the North Fork of the New River and had a log style home built.  However, I knew my new dream would never be complete having to travel back and forth to Florida.   

 Looking ahead to my future, I founded an internet business in downtown West Jefferson in early 1998. Finally, in 2001, I fulfilled my dream and moved to Ashe County, as a full time resident and thus giving up my “legal career”.  In mid 2006, my company was acquired by a telecommunication’s company out of Charlotte.

 I sold my first log home in 2005, thus allowing me the opportunity to complete my second log home in 2006, where I currently reside here in magnificent Ashe County. And I decided to pursue a career in real estate in 2005, enabling me to share my knowledge of Ashe County with the many people that visit our area year round.  When asked what setting I love the best, my response is that I love it all.  No matter what setting you choose, you are surrounded everyday by the beauty of the river, valleys, mountains, streams and forests.  

 As I have a love for both home design and decorating, I feel nothing but enthusiasm with every customer I work with.  My goal is to treat every customer’s search for their dream home as if it were my own.

I love calling Ashe County home!
