Welcome home realty group

I was born in St. Louis and graduated from Lindbergh High School here in 1993. In 1995, I moved to Memphis, Tennessee to attend the University of Memphis, originally planning to pursue a degree in the music business. Along the way, that path shifted and I ended up earning a marketing degree instead—which, looking back, turned out to be a pretty good move.

I got my start in real estate in Memphis in 2003 as an agent, but it didn’t take long before I transitioned into real estate investing full-time. In 2009, I moved back home to St. Louis and continued building my real estate career here. From my first sale through 2022, I’ve been fortunate to help successfully sell more than 500 homes.

I know firsthand that buying or selling a home can feel overwhelming at times. It’s not always easy, but it is a process—and it’s one I know very well. Honestly, I enjoy it. Helping people navigate that process and reach their goals is what keeps me motivated.

While I’m familiar with real estate throughout the St. Louis area, my primary focus and deepest experience are in South City and North County.
