I am blessed with a great family. I am married to my wife Annette for 19 yrs and we have twin 15 yr. old boys Michael and Collin. Professionally, I got into real estate after retiring from Law Enforcement and serving as a Police Officer in New Jersey. I have always had a focus on community service to make my town a better place to live. I have many years of experience in supervision, communication, negotiation and training. With these skills, I have now turned my focus to my career in Real Estate. Real estate has given me the ability to serve people in a different capacity. I love being able to work with people and help them accomplish their goals of owning a home. I also have investors that buy homes to expand their portfolio. I appreciate meeting new people and learning about their backgrounds so I can better serve them. I pride myself on being available to my clients at all hours especially knowing many people no longer work your traditional work hours. I have been awarded the New Jersey Realtors Circle of Excellence Honors, Top Sales Agent, Top Listing Agent and Top Volume Agent.

To the south, you will find Ship Bottom, Long Beach Township, Brant Beach, Beach Haven, and Holgate. Each area of LBI offers a unique place to live and visit.

Sunset on the bay always offers spectacular views of all the beautiful colors of the sky that Mother Nature provides us. Enjoy the clean and well-maintained beaches all day.
