Originally from NE Ohio, I got tired of the cloudy days, cold, sleet & snow so moved to the sunny east coast of Florida where I've been a Realtor/Broker for about 20 years. I'm the Founder, CEO, & Broker of RealtyPRO Network, the 1st innovative Referral Agent Brokerage & License Holding Company of its kind (no matter what the liars/copycats say).Prior to real estate, I was a Senior RF Systems Engineer & Consultant in the wireless communications industry for about 8 yrs, working with several Fortune 500 corporations: Agilent, Motorola, Sprint PCS, PrimeCo/Verizon, Alltel, Tantivy Communications, P-Com, etc.----GOING FURTHER BACK...upon getting the award in wood shop my senior year & graduating high school, I worked as a carpenter's assistant renovating homes. I repaired & installed roofing, siding, doors/windows, plumbing, electrical, & also maintained a factory building, all to intentionally develop the skills & experience needed to build & renovate homes, buy my 1st car, & pay my own way through college.My dad died of cancer soon thereafter, which instilled in me self-reliance & a strong work ethic to persevere & succeed. I continued working very hard for 2 more building contractors to pay for & commute to college after work, many times having to change in my car before night classes. I eventually graduated & quickly got my first job as a RF Engineer for Cellular One, & continued progressing in my engineering career.The telecom bubble burst & 2 consecutive layoffs took me from engineering into real estate. My in-depth from the ground up construction experience led me to personally invest in & renovate properties, & into a full time career as a Realtor & licensed mortgage broker.I pushed myself beyond just the basic real estate sales-associate license by taking the Real Estate Broker 72 hr state licensing course & passed the difficult state license exam the 1st attempt, in order to open my own brokerages to hire agents.I'm very proud to offer my clients & agents the peace of mind knowing they're working with an honest hard working, experienced, & detail-oriented professional w/a problem solving engineering background, who's worked most every aspect of the building, real estate, & home financing industry from the ground up over 30 yrs.___REAL ESTATE INDUSTRY PROS: Join with The Best-of-the-Best Top Guns of real estate - The “RealtyPRO Network Pay-it-Forward Knowledge & Value Exchange” community on LinkedIn. ✅ https://linkedin.com/groups/3804079/___MELBOURNE / BREVARD ENGINEERING & TECH:✅ https://www.linkedin.com/groups/3584378
