SPECIALIZATION
I specialize in representing my clients in the purchases and sales of single-family residences and income property within the Greater Tampa area which also includes Lutz, Wesley Chapel, Land 'O Lakes, Brandon, Valrico, Temple Terrace, Riverview, and Apollo Beach. I keep current of all transactions in the Tampa Bay area, and I'm also very familiar with the local schools.

I was involved in waterfront properties for 20 years so I am very knowledgeable in waterfront properties and the unique challenge that these properties present when sold and purchased. With my vast experience living on the Gulf coast, boating and working with a waterfront specialist I am very capable of assisting my buyers in finding the perfect waterfront property. If you fish and/or boat I have the experience and knowledge needed to let you start living the Florida "dream". See my John's Fishing Blog to the left.

ABOUT ME
I'm a native of South Carolina. I was born and raised in Columbia. My early years were filled with extra-curricular activities and organization centered around school, church and athletics. I attended the U.S. Coast Guard Academy and graduated from the University of South Carolina with a degree in Mechanical Engineering and pursued a career at the corporate level for many years with duPont and Occidential Chemical in engineering, corporate planning, financial analysis and product distribution.

I have lived in Florida since 1971 and the Tampa area since 1982. I have been very involved with real estate and financial consulting for the past twenty years.

I have raised two sons that became tennis players and did very well on the junior tennis circuit. The older son played for Limestone College in South Carolina and upon graduating became a teaching tennis professional in the Spartanburg, SC area. My younger son was on a tennis scholarship at Western Kentucky University playing tennis for the Hilltoppers in Bowling Green, Kentucky.
