Army Veteran, devoted father to my daughter Maia Andrea aka Andi, and French Bulldog dad to Odin. I’m a licensed Realtor® and certified mentor, real estate investor, short-term rental (STR) property manager, and 3X eXp ICON Agent serving Florida’s Emerald Coast from Pensacola to Panama City. Born in Tampa and raised in Glen Burnie, Maryland, I earned my Bachelor of Science from Bowie State University and was commissioned into the U.S. Over the next 11 years, I held leadership roles around the world, including Platoon Leader in South Korea, three-time Company Commander in Italy, and Ranger Instructor here on the beautiful Emerald Coast of Florida. As a Paratrooper and Jumpmaster, I completed 42 successful jumps out of fixed and rotary wing aircraft conducting large scale military airborne operations—experiences that shaped the discipline, focus, and leadership I bring to my real estate career today. After transitioning out of the military in 2021, I turned my passion for investing into a profession. I founded Ronin Stays, a short-term rental management company that now oversees 24 STRs and two long-term rentals, all featured across numerous booking platforms including Airbnb, VRBO, and Booking.com. That hands-on experience in property ownership and management fueled my drive to help others build wealth through real estate. Since becoming a Realtor®, I’ve been honored to achieve National Rookie of the Year (2022) and rank as the #1 Agent in my office two years in a row, with over 180 homes sold and more than $60M in sales volume to date. In 2024, 2025 and 2026, I was recognized as an eXp ICON Agent, placing me among the top one percent of agents company-wide and within the top 0.14 percent nationally. Today, I continue to serve as a top-producing realtor with real estate as my full-time focus, and as an eXp Realty certified mentor, entrusted to guide and develop the 15 agents in our mentorship program dedicated to excellence, innovation, and results. I also serve as the Owner and Founder of Ronin Stays, my real estate management company. As both an investor and advisor, I specialize in helping clients achieve financial freedom through real estate—from VA loans and primary residences to investment properties, Buy, Rehab, Rent, Refinance, and Repeat (BRRRR) strategies, and flips. Whether you’re buying your first home or expanding your portfolio, I’m here to guide you with integrity, precision, and proven experience. In today’s competitive market, you deserve a Realtor® who’s not just passionate, but strategic, disciplined, and committed to your success. Let’s connect and make your next move count!
