What was your first job in the realty industry? I have always been an independent agent from day one and never looked back!
Where did you grow up? Call me boring, but Atlanta has always been my home. I live in Buckhead, about a mile from my childhood home.
Growing up, what did you want to be? Anything but a Realtor! My mom and aunt were in the business and I was always having to answer the phone for them and babysit their clients’ kids.
What do you do to relax when you’re stressed? Play with my three boys and get exercise
If you could have lunch with a well-known figure (living or not), who would it be and why? Martin Luther King, Jr. He was a man of incredible strength in Atlanta when there were trying times. We still have a lot of issues to resolve here, and his leadership and experience would be invaluable.
Where is your favorite place to hang out? Monday Night Brewing Company on the West Side. They have a great patio and delicious local craft beer.
What do you love most about the industry? Getting to welcome people to Atlanta and help them make it feel like a small town

What is the most difficult aspect of your job? Setting boundaries!
