This is a business built on relationships.  My job as an agent is to build that relationship and to look out for those I care about.  It may sound corny, but cliches are cliches for a reason.  This is a service industry, if we can keep our focus on the customers best interest the rest will take care of itself.  Balancing life, work, family is a challenge, trying to do your best in everything is important.  TRY .  I am married to an elementary school principal and have 2 fantastic boys ages 11 and 13.  My 13 yr old is a budding rock star and my 11 yr old plays every sport.  I seem to coach every sport for him.  In my free time (what free time) you will usually find me on a golf course trying to lower my handicap (which is an honest 12).

I live in Orange, Virginia, population of 4200 give or take.  I work in Madison, Orange, Culpeper Greene areas primarily with residential customers.  I know the local market.  It's a wonderful place to live and work.  I grew up in the area, graduating from Orange County High School in 1985.  After 4 years in the Navy and 4 more years at Mary Washington College (University now).   My wife and I settled down in Stafford County.  Once we had kids we decided to move back home to Orange.  It is a great place to raise a family.  We are an easy day trip to many wonderful attractions, beach, mountains, Washington DC.  This is truly four season living.  Orange is the home of Montpelier, the home of James Madison.  Charlottesville is 35 miles to the west, Richmond is an hour away and Fredericksburg is 45 mintutes away.  Skiing is less than an hour away and it takes 3 hours to Virginia Beach.  Southern hospitality is everywhere so y'all come see us.

Montpelier is also home of Hunt Races, the first Saturday in November

Some of the prettiest scenery, beautiful women, likable folks in the entire country.  The fried chicken capital of the world is Gordonsville, Virginia. 

Did I mention the wineries?  Some of the finest wines in the country are made in Virginia and this region hosts several of the best.  Barboursville Winery, Horton Vineyards and Burnley Vineyard are in Orange.
