About Mike

I have been listing and selling residential, luxury and farm properties in Central Kentucky since 2006. I am very knowledgeable of Lexington and the surrounding area, having lived in Lexington and Mercer County (grew up near Harrodsburg), and having worked in Frankfort. I am well qualified to assist with world-wide and military relocation. My technical background makes me very comfortable with technology and using the resources of the internet to market your home or find your new home. To further my internet skills, I have completed the challenging e-PRO Certification Course. I am continually striving to improve my skills, and completed the Accredited Buyer Representative (ABR), At Home with Diversity (AHWD), Certified of Residential Specialist (CRS), and Graduate Realtor Institute (GRI) certifications; completed the Military Relocation Professional (MRP), Pricing Strategy Advisor (PSA) and the Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE) designations; and earned the NAR Commitment to Excellence (C2EX) endorsement. I am a graduate of the Kentucky Realtor and NAR Leadership Academies. In 2022, I served as President of the 12,000 plus membership for Kentucky REALTORS. In 2019, I was honored to be LBAR REALTOR of the Year. I am active in Bluegrass Realtors, KYR and NAR affairs, serving on and chairing several committees over the past few years. As a retired Army Officer and veteran, I returned home to Kentucky in 2004 after 29 years of traveling. After two years with the Commonwealth of Kentucky, serving as State CIO, I joined the challenging field of residential real estate, following in my father's footsteps. I have Masters’ Degrees from the University of Southern California in Systems Management, from the USA Command & General Staff College School of Advanced Military Studies in National Strategy, a BA in Government/History from WKU, and an AS in Business from Troy University.
