Having been a native of Asheville and then moving away for 10 years, I have gained a unique perspective on my love for this wonderful place. As much as I treasured my time in Minnesota Lake Country, I always had a yearning to return to my roots in Asheville. I feel so fortunate to have spent the last 30 plus years in the beautiful mountains of Western North Carolina.

My wife, Karma, and I have seen many changes over the years here and I feel these changes have only enhanced the appeal of this area to so many who come here. We routinely enjoy hiking and biking the vast array of trails, occasionally taking in a round of golf and love taking our boat out on the beautiful mountain lakes of WNC and upstate of SC.

One will often catch us eating dinner out at one of the many cafes in downtown Asheville or Main Street Hendersonville. We never tire of taking Sunday afternoon drives to Lake Lure or up the mountain to Pisgah Forest.

My family's involvement in our local church and my participation in various non-profit groups such as Eblen Charities, Lewis Rathbun Wellness Center (board member) and Downtown Asheville Rotary demonstrate the commitment and dedication I have to our community.

The last 10 years, I have gained an immeasurable amount of experience and knowledge in the real estate arena. I have treasured the many relationships developed over this time and I am truly passionate about helping people through the real estate process. The decision to join the Beverly-Hanks family was an easy one for me. My development and maturation to be one of the top performing agents in WNC has been possible through my association with the top performing real estate firm in WNC.

Prior to my career in Real Estate, I spent many years in the financial services industry. I have over 20 years of experience in insurance/financial services and retail/business banking. Through this experience, I have developed a thorough understanding of how to help people with some of the most important financial decisions of their lives.

I have particularly enjoyed the personal and business relationships I have developed over the years in my career here in the Western North Carolina area. Strong relationships are key in this business and I am eager to continue to provide top level personal service for my clients and establish lifelong friendships through the process.

You can be assured that I will guide you through the sale of your home or the purchase of a new one with a deep understanding of this community, a commitment to excellent service and the extensive experience of helping folks with major financial decisions.
