After W&L, I graduated from The College of William and Mary and went into marketing for a major insurance company. Fifteen years later, I switched my career to real estate. I held various managerial positions and was principal broker in seven mid-atlantic states when I retired in 2008.

After retiring, my wife of 43 years (Suzy), and I moved to North Carolina. We live on a lake in a community just north of Pinehurst. We love the area and its relaxed pace. Plus, our son, daughter and four grandchildren live only an hour away. We travel some but mainly spend our time enjoying our new life with old friends, new friends and family.

Our door is always "open" and the welcome mat is always out.
