Originally a flatlander from Kalamazoo, Michigan, I have lived in the Southeast since 1974. I have a BA from Emory University in Atlanta and a graduate degree from the NCSU School of Design in Raleigh. I moved to Wilmington, NC in 1980, worked for the city planning department as a graphic designer, and later taught advertising and graphic design at a local community college for several years. In 1999, I “transplanted” my family in Waynesville after discovering the benefits and assets of this beautiful area which to me is an ideal community in which to live. I’ve been a Waynesville NC Realtor for 9 years and I find that my background in business and graphic design meshes very well with my real estate career. I find it very easy to share my enthusiasm about Haywood County with visitors and buyers from other places. Life here is a great product to be selling! 

My goal is to provide thorough, conscientious, informed, friendly guidance to buyers and sellers in Waynesville and Western North Carolina. I am delighted to work with first time home buyers to assure that their purchasing experience is a positive and pleasant one! I provide extensive marketing services to my sellers by promoting my listings aggressively, using my special skills acquired through 20 years of experience in graphic design, print media, computer graphics and advertising.
