After many years in the securities business, I decided to take a step back in '09 to enjoy some family time and do some travelling. My wife, Stacey and I also teamed up as Realtors in 2009 and are having fun working with many family members and friends.

I began my career as an Accountant for A.G. Edwards back in 1987. In the 1990's I continued my career at the firm as a Public Finance Investment Banker where we provided bond financings for states, cities, school districts, real estate developments and other municipal entities. In the 2000's I served as a Capital Markets Compliance Officer where I advised and represented our Capital Markets Division on regulatory matters.  When we were bought by Wachovia I moved on to a small St. Louis firm where I served as Managing Director and Chief Compliance Officer.  I was also a licensed Realtor in Missouri from 1996-2003.  

In my free time, I like to travel (Disney and Destin, FL are our favorites!), play golf, music (I collect guitars) and generally try to relax.  I've also coached youth soccer and softball and most likely will again when our youngest daughter starts playing.  In 2010 we finally fulfilled one of our dreams by purchasing a beach condo in Destin, FL and in 2011 we purchased a travel agency.  Real estate and the travel business keeps us busy, but it's fun and the businesses are nice compliments to each other.

If you know of anyone looking to buy or sell real estate, please send them our way.  We'd really appreciate the business!
