Tampa / St. Pete / Ocala

I have been an entrepreneur since I was 12. It began with a lawn mower that I pushed around the neighborhood. I saved my cash in a safe until I could buy my first car. That gave me the ability to start my second venture, at home tutoring. After school and baseball practice I would travel to my peers homes, helping them with their math and science until 10 pm some nights. Teaching became my passion and still is. I naturally entered education where I taught in high school and GED classes at a technical college. 

Two things forced me out of education. 1) I would never be able to make enough money to live on the water and have a boat and 2) I wasn't able to teach what I thought students should know because there was too much emphasis on testing. Therefore I entered the real estate business. Real estate has given me to ability to tap into that passion in a different way. My goal is not to make as much money as possible. I want to educate as many people as possible about  build wealth through real estate.

After teaching school and coaching in Arkansas for a few years I wanted to go where sports were big. My wife wouldn't move to Texas or California but agreed to move to Florida. I was blessed with an amazing coaching job at North Marion High School where I coached football, baseball and wrestling. I became the Athletic Director and eventually moved into the roll as an Assistant Principal at Marion Technical College. I have always enjoyed real estate and when the opportunity arose I decided to join the Carpenter Realty Group. I enjoy people. I love talking, visiting and getting to know people. I have done this with my students for many years and look forward to meeting new people and helping them meet their real estate goals. 

I have spent years in the hospitality industry but after the uncertainty that the pandemic has brought, I knew it was time to try something new. While I've had my real estate license for 4 years, I was always scared of failing. When you step outside your comfort zone, that's where growth occurs. 

Carpenter Realty Group has helped me gain the confidence to help serve your real estate needs. I stay committed to high quality service, just as I always have in my pervious endeavors. 

Whether you are looking for your 1st house, an investment property, or a commercial space, I'm happy to help you achieve your goals. 

  While I began my career in the medical industry, my family was always involved with real estate and many of them still are. To say I grew up around the business, would be an understatement. Real estate has always been a part of my life and I understand how important and impactful decisions surrounding it are to your day-to-day life. 

I cover a large part of the state of Florida with extensive knowledge of Tampa Bay and the Palm Beach areas. Whether you are looking for an investment, to sell or buy your 1st or 10th home, I’m happy to help you accomplish your goals. 

    I have spent my entire professional career involved in the real estate industry. The majority of the time spent has been in the mortgage industry, where I analyze securities on the secondary market. This gives me a superior advantage over my peers when it comes to buying or selling real estate. 

When you’re looking to buy, I am able to help guide you through the mortgage process better than most, and when you’re looking to sell we will make sure we properly vet any buyer before accepting an offer for your home. 

Helping others obtain their goals is what I enjoy the most about this career. Nothing beats the smile on a family’s face when moving on to the next chapter and I’m excited to help you next.
