My background

Experience That Goes Beyond Real Estate

I've called Illinois home for more than 25 years, spending much of that time living and working throughout Kane County and the surrounding communities.

Before entering real estate, I spent nearly a decade owning and operating a wine bar and cheese shop in Kane County.

Running a local business taught me the importance of listening carefully, solving problems, managing details, and staying levelheaded when things don't go according to plan. Those experiences continue to shape the way I work with people today.

I understand that buying or selling a home can involve big decisions and plenty of questions. My goal is to provide clear information, honest guidance, and an experience where you never feel rushed or pressured.

A local perspective

More Than Just a Place on the Map

Knowing the Communities

Finding the right home involves more than bedrooms, bathrooms, and square footage. Local businesses, neighborhoods, and the everyday character of a community matter, too.

Having lived and worked throughout the suburbs for so many years, I enjoy sharing that perspective with people considering their next move.

Where I Work

I serve buyers, sellers, and renters throughout Chicago's western and northwestern suburbs, including Bartlett, South Elgin, Schaumburg, Bloomingdale, Streamwood, and Hanover Park.

My service area also extends through the Fox Valley, including St. Charles, my hometown of Geneva, Batavia, and neighboring communities in Kane and DuPage counties.
