A native of Nashville, I returned home after spending fifteen years living in Chicago and traveling throughout the United States and Europe. My twenty years of successful corporate management experience in sales, marketing, and business development were based on one personal philosophy: when people come first, I achieve both success and enduring relationships.

My varied life experiences and travels have provided me with the ability to communicate effectively with a diversity of people from various cultures and life-stages. I truly enjoy the experience of meeting and working with people, both clients and associates.

I have three daughters, who along with my wife Beverly ( a teacher ), keep me engaged in many aspects of todays evolving world. My family and I chose to return to Nashville, its warm people, embracing culture, and natural beauty. My wife and I love gardening, walking, and reading. We are members of The Cheekwood Museum and Botanic Garden, The Nashville Rose Society, The Nashville Zoo, The Battle of Nashville Preservation Society, and Friends of Rador Lake. I also play golf when time permits.
