I grew up on Northern Virginia, but went to college in Farmville, VA which is about 1 hour West of Richmond.  I had been coming to Richmond regularly for the past 20 years before finally settling down in Powhatan, VA.  I absolutely love the Richmond area and the people in it.  I have been in sales for over 20 years.  I spent 11 of those years in the IT industry.  I chose real estate because I love helping people realize their dreams of home ownership.  My years as a trainer work well in educating first time home buyers.  I love learning new things, and passing that knowledge down to others.  There is nothing more gratifying to me in my job than walking someone through the home buying process, and handing them the keys to their dream home, knowing I helped make it all happen.  Equally, I have always believed in honesty and integrity, and this is a career that definitely rewards you for that.  I have always believed that if you take care of people, they will in turn take care of you.
