Broker Associate (4 years experience) Professional Affiliations Member, National Association of REALTORS(R) Member, Florida Association of REALTORS(R) Member, REALTORS(R) Association of Sarasota and Manatee (RASM) Personal Background I grew up in Northwest Bradenton attending Sea Breeze Elementary, Sugg Middle School and Manatee High School (class of 2006). After graduating high school I joined the United States Marine Corps where I served over 9 years as an Intelligence Analyst. During my time with the Marine Corps I got to see the world visiting over 25 countries on all continents except South America and Antarctica. I had three combat deployments to include OEF in Afghanistan. The highlight of my career was conducting Visit, Board, Search and Seizure (VBSS) missions outside the coast of Somalia where we took down the pirated vessel M/V Magellan Star in September of 2010. During this mission we rescued 11 crew members and captured 9 pirates. I spent the majority of my career stationed at Camp Pendleton, CA which is just North of San Diego, CA. I returned to Bradenton in July of 2015 to be close to my family and begin my career in real estate. Professional Style Being in the military opened my eyes to the real estate industry since I moved around a lot. This was my first real experience in the industry and I had great success buying, remodeling and selling my personal homes each move. This success is what made me want to start a career in real estate. My professional demeanor is one of confidence, knowledge, and dedication to results. My top priority is going beyond the expected to deliver an exceptional and fully satisfying one-stop, full-service real estate experience for home buyers and sellers. I will work with you throughout your entire home search or sale process, and assist in finalizing the details.
