Whether you are looking for your first home or a dream vacation home, buying or selling I am here to walk alongside you. My style is built on determination and dedication to develop a relationship, get to know your wants and needs and then match those to the perfect opportunity to buy or sell. I want to make sure that you feel confident with all your decisions.
I have been a Maine native my entire life, being the third generation to be on the lake. I have spent many hours on the water, from sailing to jet skiing and everything in between. The lakes are also amazing in the wintertime with snowmobiling and snow shoeing. I also enjoy riding my Harley around looking at all this beauty Maine has to offer.

My intimate knowledge of this state and my experiences from living here my whole life give me the expertise needed to help you with any real estate needs you may have.
I have always had a passion for helping people and I look forward to utilizing my eighteen years of customer service experience to help future clients navigate the real estate processes of selling and buying.
