I grew up in Syracuse, NY in a family of 7 boys. In addition my parents adopted 3 girls so we definitely had a house full. With so many boys in the home it is not too surprising that sports were huge in my family. I went away to boarding school when I was 15 attending Union Springs Academy. Loved my time in that school. Went from there to Southern College in Collegedale, TN for one year. I decided that New England was a better fit for me and transferred to Atlantic Union College in the Boston area. Loved my years there and found the love of my life there. I then went to Andrews University in Michigan where I got an M.Div degree. I returned to NY where I started my career as a minister. After a successful 4 years in NY, I moved to Washington DC area to pastor a larger church where we stayed for eight years. Great time in my life. I then accepted a call to pastor a church in Thousand Oaks, CA where I pastored for ten years. At that point in time I went through a difficult time in my life and switched careers and ended up going into Real Estate where I am today. I enjoy working with people and helping them find success in an important part of their lives.
