‍Strategic Leader | Real Estate CEO | Speaker | Author | Visionary

In times of disruption, most leaders feel overwhelmed, underprepared, and unsure how to move forward. I’ve been there—and I’ve led through it.

‍I’ve built multiple businesses that not only survived but thrived through market crashes, economic uncertainty, political unrest, and now AI-fueled transformation. I’ve grown a boutique real estate team built on trust and results, where more than 70% of our clients come from repeat and referral business. In a world chasing the next shiny system, we’ve focused on building relationships that last.

I’ve held leadership roles on local, state, and national boards during some of the most divisive, high-pressure moments our industry has faced. In the wake of Hurricane Helene, when thousands were displaced and voices went unheard, I founded Patriot Relief®, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit built to meet urgent needs quickly and directly. I spoke up when others couldn’t and put action behind advocacy, because leadership isn’t just about being visible; it’s about being useful when it counts most.

Whether it’s in the boardroom, on the ground, or behind a mic, I step in when others step back. And I help others do the same.
