I was Born in Tomball and have lived in Montgomery County my entire life. I have not always been involved in the Real Estate Industry but have had the privilege of building quite a few homes with my Father and family. Prior to obtaining my license I was in the Healthcare Industry and it was just a job. Real Estate is a passion of mine for a few reasons: one being the relationships that are built with people and secondly getting to share in the joy and excitement that is experienced when that person finds and obtains their dream home. I am involved with many organizations in my community and have a passion for people and family. In addition to being an Agent, I substitute teach on occasion in the Montgomery School District to stay connected to families and the community. God, my Son and my Family are my top priorities. I love to spend time with them and my friends and cherish the memories we make in our homes. Let me be a part of your journey finding that perfect place you can call Home.
