About Me

I am not new to service work. I am a Retired San Angelo Police Officer with 20 years of service to this community. I've also found that providing the very best service is essentially about putting people first.

As a Realtor since 2007, I offer many unique talents and experiences to provide the very best services available in today's fast paced market. I believe in a people oriented, technologically sophisticated, hands-on approach to the real estate business. In both selling and buying, my attention to detail and customer service provides the results you're looking for and expect.

I am currently a Realtor with Rocky Spoonts Real Estate in San Angelo Texas.

Background & Interest

My Background

I came to San Angelo once in 1974 because of my fathers Air Force service. We left and return to stay in 1976. So I have grown up in this community and know it well. San Angelo has changed greatly in those years and it has been great to see it grow with me. Before I was old enough to by a gun and bullets I entered the Tom Green County Sheriffs Office then moved to the San Angelo Police Department.

Currently retired from Law Enforcement but working part-time with the same department. I previously served 1 year as a Tom Green County Sheriffs Deputy and 19 years as a San Angelo Police Officer. During my carrier in Law Enforcement I had many duties. Patrol Officer, Detention Officer, Community Service Officer Bike Patrol, Detective Crime Scene Technician, Defensive Tactics Instructor, and others.

After retirement, I used my photography training from Crime Scene Investigation to open and operate my own photography business for several years and even had my own studio for a year before taking a full-time job as a Commercial Product Photographer & Web Page Developer Designer. Modern forms of photography require a good understanding in computer imaging technology. With this knowledge I will be able to offer quality marketing skills to the task of selling your property. Generally, the first thing prospective buyers see are pictures of the property, whether they are on the Internet or in print. Photographic images are part of a real estate agents most effective marketing tools. Good looking pictures help sell properties. With the background I have in photography, professional equipment and web design I truly understand, appreciate, and utilizes to the fullest, today's latest technology to assist you in the buying or selling of your next home. One such technology is Real Tour Vision's 360 Degree Interactive Virtual Tours. I am a Full-Service Dealer for RTV. These are not the slide shows that some call virtual tours but a true 360 degree images that will show off your home in detail. Contact me to ask more about RTV Virtual Tours.

I have several hobbies and enjoyments. One is the Martial Arts. I have been involved in Aikido as Instructor. I still study to maintain my skills because I still Instruct Defensive Tactics for local area Law Enforcement Academy that serves the 13 counties around San Angelo. I also love Scuba Diving when possible. When I am not doing those activities I create Custom Writing Pens & Pencils from Mesquite, Deer Antler & other exotic woods. One of my favorite activities is riding with my wife on our Harley Davidson Road King Classic.
