A long career in aviation has provided me with many adventures and experiences in dealing with people.My aviation experience includes 27 combined years with the Air Force, Air National Guard and Air Force Reserves, including serving in Vietnam in 1968. After leaving active duty I continued my flying career as a commercial pilot with Braniff and Alaska Airlines for 25 years.Currently I am active in the local McChord Field Chapter of the Air Force Association working with our Community Partners to provide community support for airmen and family readiness programs. This involves helping airmen and families when they arrive or are deployed, utilize their VA benefits and assisting them when they transition out of the military. I am also involved with the wounded airmen program.Joining Alaska Airlines brought me to Gig Harbor in 1990, but what keeps me here is the beauty of the area and the strong community support for the military that the Puget Sound offers. I have been a Realtor since 2007, working with Windermere which dominates the Northwest real estate market because of its professionalism and caring approach. Whether it's buying or selling, I have experience and knowledge to assist you with your real estate needs. My promise is to keep you informed through all phases of the real estate transaction from beginning to close of escrow and to treat you as I would want to be treated, with dignity and respect.
