I was born in Columbia, SC and have lived in the area my entire life, with the exception of four years in college. I earned my Master of Science degree from The University of South Carolina in 1978. I then worked in management with BellSouth for 17 years. I retired from BellSouth in 1996 to become more involved with my children’s schools and activities. I am married and have two sons, ages 16 and 21. I have served on numerous school, district and church organizations. I am a true believer in being involved in the community in which I live. Such involvement has helped me understand the greater Columbia area and has helped me tremendously in real estate. Such knowledge of the community has made me better able to place people in areas that best suite their needs. I love what I do and find great pleasure in helping people find their home, not house. I work hard to find what will make people comfortable and happy in their home.
