About Me
After raising my children and building a career in the corporate and government sectors of information technology (IT) in the Richmond, Virginia area, I’ve found my true passion in the dynamic world of real estate. Licensed as a real estate agent since 2009, I initially pursued real estate to explore investing. Over the years, my role has evolved from a part-time referral agent—while juggling IT consulting and project management contracts—to being fully immersed in helping people navigate real estate challenges since 2019.
My interest in real estate began in childhood. I loved watching construction projects and even attempted to build my own clubhouse at 12 years old. While I once aspired to be an architect, I eventually channeled my enthusiasm into real estate. From watching This Old House to completing personal construction projects, my passion has grown. Over the years, I’ve bought and sold several homes, including three new construction properties, and even flipped and rented out properties.
What started as a focus on real estate investing has expanded into a broader mission: helping individuals and families solve real estate challenges. In recent years, I’ve specialized in serving the 55+ community, assisting seniors with buying and selling, and have naturally progressed into the probate space—helping families through challenging times.
Today, I work with clients on a variety of real estate needs, whether it’s buying, selling, investing, or managing the many aspects that come with it. My goal is always to provide compassionate and practical solutions tailored to each client’s unique situation.
If your family needs assistance with any real estate matters, or if you simply want to explore your options, I’m here to help. Let’s connect and discuss how I can support you on your real estate journey.

Why I Work in Probate
In late 1982, my parents purchased a large, historic home on five acres in Orange, Virginia. It was meant to be the start of their dream retirement—a bed and breakfast they named the “Hidden Inn.” That Christmas, our entire family gathered to celebrate their new home and hear about their grand plans. But life, as it often does, threw us an unexpected curveball.
In May 1983, just a week before the B&B was set to open, my dad passed away unexpectedly at the age of 59. My family was devastated. Grief, confusion, and fear consumed us as we tried to navigate life without him. We had no guidance, no resources, and no one to help us manage the complexities of his estate. I stepped in to help my mom as much as I could, balancing a full-time job in Richmond and my own family, but the process was overwhelming and difficult. It took more than a year of fumbling through the dark to settle everything.
Years later, we faced another heartbreaking loss. In late 2006, my mom was diagnosed with Lewy body dementia, a cruel disease that rapidly impacted her health. Although doctors predicted she had four or five years left, she passed away just a few months later, at the age of 82. Once again, my family and I were plunged into grief while having to handle the estate with little direction or support. At this point in my life, I was a single dad, raising my youngest son and working full time. The process was just as challenging as before, if not more so.
These experiences opened my eyes to how unprepared most families are when dealing with the loss of a loved one. The emotional toll, combined with the practical responsibilities of managing an estate, can feel overwhelming. I realized how valuable it would have been to have someone guide us—someone with the experience and resources to make the process smoother and less stressful.
That’s why I do what I do. My goal is to provide families with the helping hand I wish we’d had during those difficult times. By combining my personal experiences, project management skills, and real estate background, my team offers a comprehensive approach to probate.
We act as a probate concierge, assisting families with every aspect of the process—from finding the right attorney to exploring options for real and personal property. Whether you need guidance on legal matters, advice on selling a home, or help managing other estate-related tasks, we’re here to support you every step of the way.
Grief is hard enough. You shouldn’t have to navigate the complexities of probate alone. My mission is to help families move through this process with clarity, compassion, and confidence—so they can focus on what matters most.
