Making Real Estate a Better Experience

I became a real estate professional because I'm passionate about helping people get ahead. Buying or selling a home is one of the biggest financial moves of your life, but for many, the experience feels overwhelming, confusing, or impersonal. Prior to becoming a real estate agent, I had my share of frustrating experiences. I never want my clients to feel like just another transaction. Instead, I focus on making the process clear, comfortable, and even enjoyable.

What Sets Me Apart

Empathy. Genuine empathy. I naturally put myself in others' shoes, understanding their concerns and priorities—whether it's a first-time homebuyer who needs step-by-step guidance or a seasoned investor who values efficiency. I also bring a unique background:

• Entrepreneurial Expertise – I built a manufacturing business from the ground up, worked in international trade, and successfully navigated multiple industries.
• Skilled Negotiator – Years of business ownership and contract negotiations give me an edge in securing the best deals for my clients.
• Diverse Network & Market Knowledge – My connections span tradespeople, investors, engineers, and business leaders, offering insights and opportunities beyond the typical agent.
• Lake County, Lakefront & Marina City Specialist – As a homeowner in both Lake County's Chain O'Lakes area and Marina City in River North, I offer firsthand knowledge of these unique markets.

Who I Work With

While I have expertise in lakefront and upscale homes, I work with buyers, sellers, and investors across a wide range of properties. My role is to provide the right information, strategy, and service—tailored to each client's needs.

More About Me

Beyond real estate, I'm a lifelong learner and adventurer. I started out as a precision machinist, transitioned into business ownership, and later pursued passions in music and travel. I front a successful musical production that has performed for crowds of over 10,000, sharing stages with legends like Steven Tyler and members of Journey. I've met Jon Bon Jovi, written and released original music, and traveled extensively. I bring the same drive, attention to detail, and passion to everything I do.

If you're looking for a real estate partner who truly listens, works tirelessly, and makes the process stress-free, let's connect.
