Seaside Living Group

My business experience is diverse and ultimately has given me the advantage of a range of skills that I utilize in my real estate career. As a Pricing Coordinator for a Fortune 500 Company, I managed the regional pricing of 30,000 products over 120 locations. Communication, database management, and problem-solving were key components of this position. I have a degree in Commercial Photography from Columbia College Chicago. I worked for an aerial photographer, shooting commercial real estate, architectural interiors and managing the workflow of the office. I also owned my own photography studio focusing on portraiture, product, and architecture. I have post-graduate education in graphic design. My previous business experience and education have given me the skill set needed to perform the many facets of this job: pricing, marketing, communication, and problem-solving.

Let me assist you in finding your dream home. As a licensed Real Estate Professional, I will work tirelessly to help you navigate through the process of buying or selling your home so the stress and worry are kept to a minimum and the process is a smooth and pleasant experience. 

This is my goal, mission, and the foundation for my business. 

 The foundation of my career in real estate was laid early as I accompanied my parents on what seemed to be endless searches for the perfect investment property. My parents’ habit of openly discussing all aspects of the process with me despite my young age sowed the seeds which would later sprout into the beginnings of a second career later in life.

After graduating from college with a BS in Biology, I spent some time as a sales representative for a veterinary pharmaceutical distributor before moving into “the fast-paced world of data processing” as a software developer. I have continued in that field for more years than I care to admit and am finally at the point of being able to turn my attention back to real estate. Throughout my career since college, I have been attracted to positions that allow me to focus on serving others and assist them in meeting their goals. Whether the goals were those of veterinarians trying to meet the needs of their patients more effectively or those of an application development manager working to minimize downtime, the focus has always been the same: help others.

Since moving to Venice from the Chicago area in 2013, my wife Colleen and I have been thrilled by our decision to become Floridians and we are excited to be able to help others achieve that dream as well. Our combined experience in sales and marketing gives us the perfect background to help you sell your home and our enthusiasm for Venice and the rest of the Suncoast allows us to guide your search for your own bit of paradise with fun and excitement.
