About Me

I’m proud to be with Navigate Realty in Jacksonville, NC, and I bring over 6 years of experience as a Commercial HVAC Construction Manager into every deal. That means I understand homes beyond the surface—how they’re built, how systems function, and where costly issues can hide.

How that helps you:

Buyers: Avoid expensive surprises and make stronger offers Sellers: Price and position your home to attract serious buyers Military & Relocation: Smooth, efficient moves in and out of the area Investors: Analyze properties with a construction-minded approach
I’m known for being responsive, straightforward, and easy to work with—because in real estate, communication and timing can make or break a deal.

Whether you’re buying your first home, upgrading, investing, or relocating to the coast, I’ll guide you step-by-step and make the process as smooth as possible.
