I am a native of Ashe County and can think of no better place to raise my children. I am a graduate of Northwest Ashe High School and Appalachian State University. I live in the Creston community with my wife, Melissa. I have two children: Riley and Lauren. My bonus children are Jeffrey and Kelly. I have been a Realtor since 2000 and have extensive knowledge of the area as well as local market trends. I am also a State-Certified Real Estate Appraiser in North Carolina and Virginia. I am listed on the HUD/FHA Approved Appraiser roster.

I live in the Creston community and in my spare time I am active with my kids activities. I am also active in the Ashe Masonic Lodge and the Ashe Shrine Club. On selected weekends I can also be found playing either drums or guitar and singing with two local groups. I can also be found in the sound booth for the Ashe County Little Theater and select events at the Ashe Civic Center.
