Revealty, Exclusive Buyer's Agent

I have been an Exclusive Home Buyer's Agent with Revealty since 2001. I firmly believe in the principle of fully and exclusively representing home buyers, protecting their interests and negotiating on their behalf. The purchase process should be a learning experience, and the buyer should be fully informed in order to make educated decisions on what, where, and how to purchase.

I have lived in Gahanna since 2001 and the Central Ohio area my entire life. I have been married for 12 years, and have two children, Dylan 10 and Kaya 7. My son is a future Ohio State basketball player, my daughter a future fashion designer. In my free time I enjoy traveling, hiking, and writing.
