Real estate is my job and my passion. My specialties are residential real estate, distressed properties (short-sales & foreclosures) and military relocations. I am a native Bostonian, a black belt in Tae Kwon Do, and can often be found on a hike with my dogs on the weekends. A winter in New England just wouldn't be the same without professional football, and I can't image a summer without going to Fenway at least once.One sentence about your real estate career: While I have been a Top Producer since 2010, what is really important to me is the impact that I make in the lives of my clients and community, which last year awarded me the Community Impact Award.Favorite Quote: "I, not events, have the power to make me happy or unhappy today. I can choose which it shall be. Yesterday is dead, tomorrow hasn't arrived yet. I have just one day, today, and I'm going to be happy in it." - Groucho MarxThree Lifestyle Tips: Take care of your health - eat well, exercise daily (yes, daily), and laugh as often as possible - especially at yourself. Find appreciation for everyone & tell them - everyone has a story unknown to you, so practice giving a little grace and forgiveness for injustices, don't hold grudges, and find something no matter how insignificant, to show your appreciation for their efforts. No one means to be a ______ (insert own word here) all the time.

What most people would be surprised to know about me: For three very influential years of my childhood, I lived in Italy...meshed into the community, schools, culture, history, language and loved every minute of it...well, except for the time when I realized that we weren't getting our pets back (gave away to friends when we moved overseas). Is that second part more of a surprise to you??? Of course that would be devastating to me...I was a kid!! - Read Less
