Specialization 
      I specialize in military personnel/families and truly love working with first time home buyers. I pride myself in educating "First Time Buyers" even if they are just considering a real estate purchase - no sales pitch - just information they can use whether you are thinking of buying next month or next year.

Giving Back to the Community 
     As this real estate practice has grown, I have converted the volunteer hours I was formally able to give to the community to financial support for a number of charities.  Signicant funding is provided each year to the National Cystic Fibrosis Foundation, CASA (Court Appointed Special Advocates for Children) and Habitat for Humanity.  I also provide funds to various critical need situations in the San Antonio on an anonymous basis. My life has been truly blessed financially and I give back every chance I can. In addition, Realty Executives International Associates have built over 52 homes for Habitat for Humanity and donated over 3 Million Dollars to this worthy charity over the last 10 years.

Personal 
      I had the privilege of serving in the Air Force for 36 years retiring as a senior Air Force officer but the real priviledge was also having 15 years service as an enlisted member. That service began when I quit the 10th grade and enlisted during the Vietnam era. I began my real estate practice in 1999.  I practice professional real estate with a foundation of honesty and integrity. I and my team of experienced Realtors are committed to meeting your real estate needs.
