A lifetime resident of the Lehigh Valley and a graduate of Nazareth Area High School, I attended Shippensburg University studying Human Resource Management. After returning to the Valley, I chose to walk down the same path as my father. Along with many other things I’ve learned from him, I have inherited the dedication, motivation, and compassion for my clients that is unmatched in this business today. My plan for the future is to make this my life-time career.
My reputation to the public as well as in the industry is that of an honest and reputable agent. I care about Quality of Service and the Success of the Business which I conduct. For the past 10 years, I have been associated with Century 21 Pinnacle, which is the largest Century 21 in the Valley. Determined to give back to the real estate community I volunteer my time and serve on several committees. In 2006 I became a member of our Government Affairs Committee, in 2007 was asked to take over as Vice Chair, and in 2008 accepted the seat as Chairperson for 2009 in an effort to help protect our industry and most importantly our clients. In addition to my position on the GAC, I was selected to sit as Vice Chair of our LVAR PAC with the goal to help fund raise and guide our leadership in our decisions as a Political Action Committee.
I feel there is nothing we can’t accomplish together. I look forward to having the opportunity to create a long lasting business relationship. |
