Agent, Realtor®

I’m from a small beach town in Cape May County NJ, a graduate of Wildwood Catholic High School and hold a bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Johnson & Wales College.

 I returned to my family’s restaurant after college and worked through the ranks until eventually assuming the role of General Manager. After we sold our restaurant, I entered the casino industry and performed in numerous managerial positions. Most notably, I was the department head for the beverage operation at the Showboat Casino Hotel. In that position, one of my primary responsibilities was to mediate employee/management disputes in addition to participating in union contract negotiations with Atlantic City’s largest labor union, Local 54.

 I always had a strong desire to become a real estate agent and after a rewarding career in the gaming industry, I started my real estate career in 2012 with Berger Realty in Ocean City, NJ. After becoming empty nesters, my wife and I moved to Clearwater in 2018. I then resumed my career as a Realtor with CENTURY 21 COAST TO COAST which is based out of Sand Key in Clearwater Florida.

 I pride myself on having the utmost Integrity, being honest and possessing a keen attention to detail. I have a deep passion for the real estate business and enjoy working with people from all walks of life. It is extremely rewarding to assist others in finding their dream home or perfect investment property.

 My past experience of owning and operating a small business along with being a casino executive has proven to be invaluable, particularly when the time comes for contract negotiations. I will negotiate the most favorable terms for my clients and seal the deal! If you are looking for an agent that will work relentlessly on your behalf with only your best interest at heart, do not hesitate to reach out. I’m ready to assist you with all your real estate needs.
