Providing a superior level of informed, professional real estate services to buyers and sellers in the Spencer County area. Call me and I would love to give you a tour. I was born and raised in Spencer County. I know the area and history very well.

I have lived in Spencer County all my life except for the four years served in the United States Marine Corps. Where I lived in North and South Carolina and California. Plus, I lived another two years in Colorado Springs, Co. I know the importance of finding the right house at an affordable price. Whether its buying or selling I am here to help you with all of your needs.

This is my second time around living in the community of Christmas Lake Village. I choose to move back to the Christmas Lake Village about five years ago to raise my family. I thought it was such a great place to raise my kids in. I have been doing real estate for the past two years full time and I am a sales associate at Century 21 Towne and Country Realty in Santa Claus, Indiana. I am enjoying real estate very much.

Thinking about relocation to Spencer County. Let me help with a relocation package to help ease the pain of moving. Being in the Marines I know every aspect it takes to move a family in a smooth way.
