my Mission
YOUR SUCCESS IS MY PRIORITY.

My mission is simple: help people however I can, especially those navigating major life transitions. I Co-founded Compass Military Division, so NOBODY has to go through our "first real estate horrible experience." This is the biggest purchase of your life. Let's have an honest conversation on the buying and selling process, your budget, your goals and develop a plan with the proper timing that works for you. After 25 years in the Navy—including nine years enlisted before becoming an officer—I understand how big decisions impact families, not just finances. My wife Shelley and I spent over 18 years navigating deployments, moves, and raising our three kids, which shaped why this work matters to me.

While I’m deeply committed to serving military families, I bring the same care, clarity, and honesty to anyone buying or selling a home. I am here to work for you. I focus on making complex situations feel more manageable and personal. I believe leadership and real estate should be built on trust, service, and one rule I live by—never settle for less than doing right by people.
