    A U.S. Naval Aviator for 20 years, I joined my wife Vicki in the real estate business in 1988 upon retirement.

    I'm a real estate broker, and operate a separate property management company to manage homes for clients who have left the Washington, D.C. area. I'm also a Certified Residential Real Estate Appraiser. I perform the analyses for our buyers and sellers before listing or purchasing a home, and look at the process from the bank/lender standpoint to ensure proper pricing.
