Born in San Diego and raised in a Navy family, travel was a requirement for the first 18 years of my life. A lingering wanderlust kept me moving for the next twelve as well, training and showing Arabian Horses, first in California, then Texas and finally leading me to Virginia where I leased a large farm near Charlottesville and opened my own training center in 1981. I became associated with Charlottesville's oldest and largest real estate firm in 1983, specializing in farm and estate brokerage, and developed a deep understanding and appreciation for rural properties in Virginia's Piedmont. In 1998 I established Charlottesville Country Properties Ltd with a core group of farm and estate specialists.

Now with two children, Alex and Abby, I enjoy life more than I ever imagined at Firefly Farm in Barboursville with six Arabian horses, two dogs and a cat. Like nearly every one I know, I feel blessed to live and raise my children in one of America's most favored spots. Remarkable opportunities abound for anyone looking for an exceptional quality of life in this unspoiled microclimate at the foot of the Blue Ridge Mountains. Please come see for yourself and allow Charlottesville Country Properties Ltd. to introduce you to Charlottesville and its surrounds, from grand estates to hidden mountain hollows, you owe it to yourself to see how good it can get.
