About Me
-
I'm a Marine Corps veteran and REALTOR® with Baird & Warner, specializing in two things: helping 50+ homeowners navigate the decision to downsize from a long-held home, and guiding veterans and military families through the home buying and selling process.
Most of my clients have been in the same house for 20 or 30 years. The move they're considering isn't just a real estate transaction — it's a major life transition. I bring the same discipline, preparation, and attention to detail that the Marine Corps demanded to every step of that process. My clients don't feel rushed, pressured, or like a number.
My business is called Mission Ready Real Estate — because the best moves happen when you're prepared. I work primarily in Oak Park, River Forest, Galewood, and the broader West suburban Chicago market, though I help clients throughout the greater Chicago area.
When I'm not working with clients, you'll find me involved with local veteran organizations, writing, or enjoying everything Oak Park has to offer.
If you're a 50+ homeowner thinking about your next move, or a veteran who wants an agent who speaks your language — I'd love to talk.
