Having a business background in marketing has allowed me to be creative in how I market properties for my clients in both digital (the Internet) and print advertising.
Currently, I reside in Winchester with my wife Christina, our 4.5 year old Karissa and our 2 year old Brooke.
Active in the community, I'm a member of the Winchester Rotary, St. Mary's church, a volunteer at the local senior center, a Griffin Photography Center Corporator and an active participant in the tennis community.
