I grew up in Myrtle Beach, SC, and graduated from Clemson University. I've been a resident of Orlando since 2005, residing in the Dr. Phillips community. Professionally, I was an independent insurance agent for over 15 years and sold lead generation software/products to both realtors and insurance agents for the past 13 years. Upon looking for a new challenge and looking at several professions, I chose real estate due to the variety of career paths available and the flexibility to weave my volunteerism efforts seamlessly until my work week. Currently, I chair the Dr. P. Phillips YMCA Advisory Board, serve as a board member with the Men of Holy Family Ministry, and volunteer.
