I was born in Meadville and grew up in the countryside of Townville. I loved playing in the woods and riding my bike up and down the dirt roads, admiring the unique architecture of the houses and farms in the area. As a child I remember my parents talking about the importance of owning your home. At the time I was too young and naive to understand what that meant, I assumed that every person living in a house owned it.  My parents separated at a young age, so we spent a lot of time moving around between apartments and family members until my mom had saved enough money to buy a house in Albion. I couldn’t wait to graduate; the only problem was I didn’t know what I wanted to do. I didn't have a car at the time, so the local McDonald's was my closest option. What I thought would be a temporary way to make money turned into a 13-year endeavor of building business and leadership skills, meeting great people, and working my way up to become a general manager. This job gave me the financial stability I needed to buy a car, get married, buy our first home, and start a family.  Home ownership brought a sense of security and stability in my life that I needed to succeed. This inspired me to get my real estate license. I now have the opportunity to meet great people, and educate them about owning a home, all while traveling to the small towns I grew up in, making the dream of owning a home a reality for others.  I look forward to helping you when it's time to find your home.
