As a former elected official, a member of the Stratford Board of Assessment Appeals, and former Democratic Candidate for Mayor of Stratford, I have a unique perspective and commitment to the real estate needs in Connecticut.

I also have over 30 years' experience as a senior vice president in the banking profession.

It will give me great pleasure to serve all of your real estate needs and I look forward to working for you. You'll find me to be very easy to work with and a good listener who keeps you, the client, well informed.
