Localism for Lewisburg WV

I started out in real estate over 30 years ago. However, during those years I held a full-time job in other areas. When I retired from my job with the State of West Virginia, I decided that I wanted to return to buying and selling real estate. I had a longtime friend, Tom Johnson, who was the Managing Broker at Coldwell Banker Stuart and Watts Real Estate in Lewisburg. I spoke with him and decided to join the team. I am excited about serving the folks in Greenbrier County.

I am a life-time resident of Alderson, Greenbrier County. My wife, Kathy, and I have three grown children and five grandchildren--all boys.
