About Me

In real estate as in music – performance counts…and experience shows!

I am fortunate to have been able to work in my two passions – music and real estate. I recently retired from the Cleveland Orchestra, where I played the double bass for 44 seasons! Membership in the Orchestra afforded me the opportunity to visit 46 countries, and to explore different cultures around the world. It was an honor to be onstage with one of the world’s leading orchestras; and the work ethic, self-discipline and cooperation I’ve enjoyed with great musicians has given me wonderful tools to apply to my real estate career.

My passion for real estate began as a teenager in the Chicago area, where I performed basic maintenance work on my father’s six-flat apartment building. Since obtaining my real estate license in 2006, I’ve really enjoyed helping people buy and sell homes throughout northeastern Ohio. I specialize in Cleveland Heights, Shaker Heights, University Heights, South Euclid and Lyndhurst; and I focus on understanding my buyers’ and sellers’ needs and helping them reach their goals.
