Hello everyone,
I am a very thankful and blessed man. I have been married to my lovely Bride Kitty Hudiburgh for 24 years and 5 wonderful children and 3 grandchildren. I am very proud of all of them and the contributions they make to our great country. I am from a small town called Ninnekah Oklahoma , just a dot on the map between OKC and Lawton. We have lived in our small town Waterford Michigan for the past 19 years.
I am a proud USAF veteran that joined the Airforce my Junior year in High school. My family comes from a long line of Service and ever since I could remember I knew that I wanted to serve our country. I enjoy being the Vice president of United Veterans of Michigan , an 100% all volunteer non profit organization that takes our Veterans out on fishing and hunting trips at ZERO cost to the veterans to help them cope with PTSD and be with other Brothers and Sisters that have served.
I have been in Real Estate since 2013 and what a thrill it is. I am a goal oriented and knew I wanted to have my own Real Estate Brokerage with in 10 years. My wife and I opened Real Estate For a CAUSE Waterford in 2020 yes right during the pandemic with the idea we wanted to help impact our community become stronger, Closer and more inclusive. So everyone of our sales 5% of is donated to a local vetted non profit to help make a better impact here in Waterford and surrounding areas.
