Business Philosophy
After many years as a happy and productive basic cancer researcher at The Ohio State University College of Medicine and Comprehensive Cancer Center, I retired as Professor Emeritus in order to embark on my second career as a real estate professional. It may sound unusual that a former teacher and “lab bench rat” has become a REALTOR. However, I have always loved houses and how they reflect or can be molded to reflect the people that live in them. It has long been my hobby to picture how changes in a home —even minor ones--can increase its value and enjoyment. As a resident of the Central Ohio area for more than 35 years, I have personal and extensive knowledge of most of its residential communities, the vibrant arts scene in and around Columbus, and the many activities available to its residents. My enthusiasm, high energy level, attention to detail, organization, and professionalism in all that I do make me YOUR best choice for a REALTOR, whether you are looking to sell your home or to buy the home of your dreams.
