Since 2001, I’ve been dedicated to helping people navigate the real estate market with confidence and success. Over the years, I’ve weathered major market shifts—from post-9/11 challenges to thriving seller’s markets and competitive buyer’s markets. My focus has always been on the people I serve, not just the transactions. In 2017, I had the honor of achieving the highest units sold in my office, and in 2018, I was named "Realtor of the Year" by the Three Rivers Association of Realtors, an award that reflects my commitment to excellence.

I’ve had the privilege of serving as the president of our local association and as a director for the Illinois Association, advocating for both my clients and the real estate community. Now, as the Designated Managing Broker and Owner of EXIT Real Estate Specialists, I’m thrilled to bring this commitment to an office where I can empower other Realtors to deliver outstanding service.

As a homeowner and a family man, I understand how life changes influence real estate needs. There’s nothing more fulfilling than helping people find their ideal home, guiding them through the market’s ups and downs, and seeing how each transaction improves their lives. Real estate isn’t just my career; it’s my passion, and I’m here to help you make the most of the market, one home at a time.
