I earned and currently hold a Guiness Book of World Records Title for Highest Single Game Bowled Backwards. While I love impressing fans when I put up big numbers, the biggest reward is knowing that I have absolutely mastered something I knew nothing about. I attacked my goal: to truly be so good at backwards bowling that they would put me magazines. And they did. I was featured in The Tennessean, Stars and Strikes, and Bowlers Journal. I bowled with the greats, and I went on a world wide media tour that placed me on shows like Jimmy Kimmel Live and Ellen, while getting to perform all over the world from Bowlfest in Las Vegas to Trick Shots in Tokyo. The tenacity, determination, and ultimate reward of being top in class is characteristic of how I approach life.

Passion is what drives me to win and winning is having a team of 438 people that can provide for their families and be proud of what they do.

Everyone deserves a mentor to guide them through life’s biggest decisions. Helping people buy, sell or invest in real estate allowed me to partner with people during the most significant financial transactions of their life. It was important to me that the real estate transaction was an easy and rewarding experience for my clients. To achieve this goal I created systems to identify qualified clients with a focus on trust, honesty, integrity, and productivity. I implemented these systems, monitored their effectiveness and was able to serve my clients at the highest level.
