Everyone has their reason for why they decided to go into real estate. For me, it has simply always felt like “my purpose”. While I started in residential real estate in 1986, my curiosity led me to explore commercial real estate and later, title insurance and escrow. What started as a challenge became a 16-year journey owning one of Central Ohio’s top title agencies. Yet, despite my success, something was missing.
Residential real estate was a big part of it – helping people navigate one of life’s most meaningful investments was something I was truly passionate about and felt inspired to do as my life’s work. But there was another piece. And that was working with a team that also believed real estate was more than just a transaction. It is about guiding clients through the transitions, fresh starts, and possibilities that real estate could offer with both expertise and a personal touch.
In 2017, I found Vutech | Ruff. Here, I have the privilege of working alongside a group of similarly inspired professionals who don't just know the market inside and out; they embrace creativity, think outside the box, and push boundaries to better serve our clients. As someone who firmly believes that experience and innovation make the difference in real estate, I couldn't be prouder to be on a team that proves that!
But beyond market expertise and strategy, what truly inspires me is my team itself. Every day, I’m surrounded by individuals who challenge me to grow, remind me why I love what I do, and prove that real estate is more than a transaction, rather it is about building lasting connections and making dreams a reality.
When my team isn’t motivating me to be a better agent (and person) you can find me cooking, playing golf, and tackling DIY home projects. I’m also an animal lover, a hockey fan, and an amateur wine connoisseur—always on the hunt for a great new bottle to try!
If you or anyone you know is in the market to buy or sell their home, don’t hesitate to reach out. I am confident the combined decades of industry experience of the Vutech | Ruff team will guide you toward more informed decisions and a smoother, more stress-free, and, dare I say, inspired process.
