I was born in a small rural town in western Connecticut surrounded by rolling hills and farms and protected forest land but just a short train ride to New York City. After graduating high school, I attended the SAE Institute in NYC where I earned a degree in audio engineering. I lived in Manhattan and Brooklyn for a while working at a recording studio before choosing to leave the city and head south in search of a home more suited to my lifestyle. 

Despite being a proud New Englander, I found familiarity and peace in the lush green mountains of Asheville and the incredible natural beauty of Western North Carolina.

Upon arriving, I was fortunate enough to land a job at the widely renowned music venue, The Orange Peel, and as a sound engineer there, I had the pleasure of working with hundreds of incredible musicians from around the world as well as becoming connected to the talented artists that comprise our local music scene here in the Asheville area. I feel blessed to have my home in a place with such a vibrant community of artists and musicians and believe it is one of the most valuable attributes of this wonderful city.

On a personal note, I am an avid traveler. I have visited every state in the nation with the exception of two (Alaska and Hawaii) and in the past several years (before we welcomed our son, August, into the world in 2022) I have been lucky enough to go on two separate 6-month backpacking trips with my lovely wife. One brought us through Central and South America and the other all over Southeast Asia. I love meeting new people and learning the intricacies of different cultures and backgrounds. I also have an undying love for hiking, which is another reason I feel fortunate because the southern Appalachian Mountains are certainly among the most naturally beautiful in the entire country.

Since relocating to Asheville nearly 20 years ago, I have seen the town steadily grow into a spirited metropolis and I enjoy being a part of helping people find their place here. As a transplant myself, I understand the needs and desires of folks looking to find a home in a new place, whether you are coming from near or far. I am always thrilled to help people discover how special this area really is and to assist them when they decide to plant roots here.

After 10 years as a buyer and listing broker with Town and Mountain, I am thrilled to have recently stepped into the supervisory role of Broker in Charge for the firm. I am excited for the future. While the aftermath of Hurricane Helene lingers, I am hopeful and confident that the spirit of Asheville and the community here will rebuild and we will see another renaissance in this resilient city.
