25+ Years in Real Estate, Life-Long Porsche Enthusiast

I've had a passion for Porsches ever since I rode shotgun with my Realtor Dad in his 1985 928S.  Today, I still have his 928S in the garage and that real estate thing?  That stuck too.
As part of the German luxury real estate brand Engel & Völkers and the License Partner for the Washington DC shop, I serve my clients throuout Washington DC, Maryland, Virginia and internationally with dedication and a focus on client service.   
I'm also an active member and sponsor of Porsche Club of America Potomac Region.  I participate regularly in high performance driver education (HPDE) events as #78 in the White Group.   I love the Porsche community and am here to serve.
