Integrity guides every decision I make. Doing the right thing isn’t always easy, but it’s always necessary. Success increases in direct proportion to the help given to others, and I hold that truth at the heart of leadership. The people who surround me are my greatest assets, and my role is to help them reach their fullest potential.

I also believe in accountability — owning my mistakes and learning from them. Growth begins with humility and the willingness to be taught. Every person has something valuable to share if we are open to listening and learning.

Leadership means giving credit before taking it, recognizing that positive change starts with personal choice. We can’t control others, but we can control our actions and attitudes. Strong, ethical leadership resolves most problems before they spread — because it focuses on solutions, not blame.

Balance is vital in everything — in work, in relationships, and in life. Decisions made in haste or emotion often lead to regret, while steady, thoughtful leadership builds trust and sustainability. I strive to learn from the past, stay focused on the future, and never let challenges go unattended — because small fires left alone always grow.

In the end, leadership is not about command; it’s about connection. It’s about inspiring others, maintaining integrity, and building a culture where everyone’s strengths are recognized and celebrated. When that happens, success follows — not as a personal victory, but as a shared achievement.

Beyond Real Estate

• I proudly served on active duty for twenty-seven years in the United States Navy. During this time, I dedicated myself to upholding the core values and mission of the Navy. My commitment and perseverance throughout my career led to my retirement as a Master Chief Petty Officer, the highest enlisted rank in the Navy. This achievement reflects years of service, leadership, and devotion to duty.
• I am a Rotarian and currently serve as the vice president of the Forked River Club.  My role in Rotary provides me with meaningful opportunities to make a positive difference in our community, our Nation, and the world at large.   The principle of “Service Above Self” is one I strive to embody, and I encourage others to adopt this same dedication to helping others.
• I demonstrate my dedication to God through active and ongoing involvement in my church. Over the past 12 years, I have embraced various leadership roles, beginning as a Vestry Member and advancing to serve as Senior Warden. Currently, I continue to support the church’s mission as the Treasurer. These experiences have deepened my commitment to faith and strengthened my contributions to the church community.
