I was born and raised right here in beautiful Charleston SC. I've been involved in business and the community in Mount Pleasant as well as the surrounding area all my life! Business and community is the backbone of the growth of our towns and cities. I pride myself on my reputation and my commitment to both. I've raised my family here in the Lowcountry and I'm very proud of the heritage that surrounds this beautiful place. My business is a local Credit Card Merchant Services Company with local customer service and new Merchant Services technology that is second to none. If you want to talk about the Lowcountry or just sit down and discuss business in our town I'm your guy!

As a dedicated Realtor with 32 South Properties, I specialize in helping individuals and families find their perfect place to call home in Charleston and the surrounding areas. I bring a passion for real estate, an unwavering commitment to my clients, and a deep appreciation for everything this beautiful area has to offer. Whether working with first-time buyers, luxury listings, or relocating families, I strive to provide an exceptional and personalized experience.
In addition to my real estate career, I am proud to serve as an Ambassador for the Mount Pleasant Chamber of Commerce. I truly enjoy connecting with local businesses, fostering community relationships, and supporting the growth of this vibrant area. Networking and building genuine connections are at the heart of everything I do, and I love seeing our community thrive.
Originally from NJ, I now embrace the Lowcountry lifestyle with open arms. When I'm not helping clients or volunteering with the Chamber, you can often find me enjoying a run or walk on the beach, sometimes accompanied by shelter dogs to promote their adoptions.
Exploring the area's incredible local shops and restaurants, along with my passion for the outdoors, reflects my belief in living a balanced and fulfilling life right here in the Charleston area.
I would be honored to be your resource for all things real estate and look forward to continuing to serve and connect with this amazing community!

Having served our country as a US Naval Officer, I know what it takes to make things run with efficiency and precision. I hold a bachelor’s degree in Biomedical Engineering from Northwestern University and a master’s degree in Business and Management from Webster University, and this training helps me apply an engineer’s problem-solving skills to the business world. For the past 34 years, I have been an entrepreneur, and from 1991 until 2021, I worked in field engineering, sales and management in the medical device industry. When I realized I was ready to combine my professional experience with a passion for coaching and mentoring, I founded The Growth Coach of the Lowcountry. Their approach resonates with me because it helps business owners and managers drive success while prioritizing balance in their lives.
I am certified in The Strategic Mindset© coaching process, which adheres to ethics standards outlined by the International Coaching Federation. I am also certified in administering and interpreting DISC assessments, which is a behavioral analysis tool helpful for unlocking human potential to create stronger teams, leaders, salespeople, and companies.
In addition to my professional work, I’m a volunteer mentor with Big Brothers/Big Sisters, a certified SCORE Mentor, Mt. Pleasant Chamber of Commerce membership committee, Northwestern University Global Ambassador, an Eagle Scout, a triathlete, and a former Boy Scout leader. My wife Beth and I have two college-aged children, Tanner and Jolie. As a family, we have hosted an international student through Rotary International Student Exchange, travelled across the US and in Europe and Central America, and hosted multiple church youth groups.

As a publisher, I dedicated 50 years to the community newspaper publishing industry, spending the entirety of my career with Evening Post Publishing, Inc., the parent company of the Post and Courier. I had the privilege of publishing several community newspapers throughout my career, including the Moultrie News, the Kingstree News, the Georgetown Times, The Catalyst, the Charleston Mercury, and South Strand News. My journey in journalism allowed me to connect deeply with the communities I served, fostering relationships with business owners, local leaders, and loyal readers.
The Moultrie News in Mount Pleasant, South Carolina, was my final chapter in this rewarding career, where I relished the opportunity to tell the stories that mattered most to our community. A lifelong South Carolinian, I have called Mount Pleasant home for the past 23 years. Outside of work, my proudest accomplishment is being the mother of two wonderful grown daughters.
I remain passionate about the value of local journalism and the connections it builds within a community, and I cherish the countless friendships and memories made throughout my career.
