I was originally licensed in 1994 as a real estate agent in Maryland with Shannon and Luchs. In the early 2000's I moved to Northern Virginia and got married. My wife Stephanie works for the Fairfax County Public School system and my daughter is away at college.

We enjoy riding bicycles kayaking, hiking and more in the DC area. Family is very important to us, so we visit them in Texas and Hawaii as often as possible.

I’m a traditional Japanese martial arts enthusiast, specifically Budo Taijutsu, as well as Brazilian Jiu-Jitsu and have trained at a variety of schools in the DC Metro area.

I drive a car when it's raining or snowing but when possible, I prefer riding a motorcycle to almost all of my appointments. It’s great on gas, lets me ride on most toll roads free of charge and always lifts my spirits.
