As an Atlanta native and Top Producing Agent, I have intimate first-hand knowledge of our city, region and its real estate.
EARLY PASSION FOR REAL ESTATE AND A PROVEN ENTREPRENEUR
I grew up on the banks of the Chattahoochee River as the youngest of six kids. Our parents taught entrepreneurship early, and we all had jobs while a lot of other kids were, well, being kids. My love of houses and all the details that make them a home started when I was 11 years old and the minimum wage was $3.35 an hour. A close friend’s father was a home builder, and we were tasked with cleaning homes after each phase of the build and getting them ready for the next. Before I could drive, my first business was a lawn service with my best friend, and we appropriately named ourselves The Lawn Rangers. We learned how to perfectly manicure a yard while making spending money. In college, my love of landscaping took me into golf course maintenance at Cherokee Country Club, where I learned how a 36-hole golf course and club is kept to exacting standards.
After graduating from the University of Georgia, I joined my siblings at Paper Affair, a chain of stationery and invitation stores in the Atlanta area. It was here that I learned about sales and what it truly means to provide unforgettable customer experiences. In 1999, after four years on the sales floor, I launched the store’s core offerings online at PaperStyle.com. The business thrived for 23+ years and although no longer in business, was a success in so many ways: millions of invitations and stationery orders fulfilled with a money-back guarantee.
COMMUNITY, CONNECTOR AND ATLANTA CONCIERGE
I love Atlanta and the people that I have shared this city with all of my life. As an active member of numerous organizations, I am deeply rooted in our community with leaders and decision-makers. I have lived in neighborhoods throughout the Atlanta area and know details of each that few people can rival. One of my proudest affiliations was with Entrepreneur’s Organization, including a peer group that I met with monthly for 11 years. Putting people first and doing the right thing with every decision are among my core values. My wife Lindsay, is the managing owner of Poppy’s of Atlanta, a women’s clothing boutique located on E. Andrews Drive for 43 years. We live in Buckhead with our son, Jackson who is 10.
WHAT TO EXPECT
My attention to detail, follow-through and pursuit of success are my greatest assets. The foundation of my business is summarized with two very simple words: exceed expectations. Whether buying or selling, you can be assured that the finest details will not be overlooked. Allow me and my team to elevate your home buying or selling experience; you have my word that it will be amazing.
