The Fredericksburg Area Association of REALTORS® Member Spotlight feature allows members of the community to get to know each other before working with each other in a transaction. Each member answers a series of questions to reveal more about themselves as people. It is FAAR’s hope that learning about an individual may spark connections that blossom via email, phone conversations or in-person meetings at events and classes.

Why do you love working in real estate?
I like to help people who have not been afforded the opportunity to buy a home to own their own home.
Favorite Work Story
I once showed a house that, unbeknownst to me, had two killer attack dogs inside. I heard something moving around inside, so I cracked the door about four inches. A Doberman attack dog fit its head through the crack and nearly bit my nose off.
What are you most proud of in your career?
I have been able to prevent several slumlords from operating in Fredericksburg, with the help of Fredericksburg City government. I also stopped a real estate pricing scam in the City of Fredericksburg.
Do you have a special cause or volunteer your time?
Fredericksburg Food Bank
Peace Corps of the United States Memorial Project
Fun Fact
I was a screenwriter in Hollywood for nearly a decade.
I once flew an aerobatic routine in a TF-51D Mustang fighter plane—the only time in my life I ever wore a parachute!
