    About
    I am a third generation Washingtonian who currently lives and works in Rockville, MD. I have been married for 39+ years and have two children - a son and a daughter - and as of 2021, my first granddaughter. I am a proud graduate of the University of Maryland Smith School of Business with degrees in accounting and finance, and I have spent last 40 years involved in real estate, both locally and nationally. My go-to activity to relax is a 25-50 mile bicycle ride on the weekend along with a golf game thrown in for good measure – maybe a little less now that I am a PROUD grandparent.
