About A.J.

Personal Background Originally hailed from Upstate NY and in 1984 moved to Maryland as a musician in the band "The Magnetics". Recorded and toured the East Coast through 1989 - retired as a professional musician and established a Marine Canvas Manufacturing facility with an old friend in Annapolis called "Canvas Creations" This grew into a large marine canvas facility serving large sail & Power boats.

Sold interest in Canvas Creations to old friend and partner Dan Wood in 2002 to venture into Real Estate. Licensed and joined Champion Realty in 2002 and then Coldwell Banker Realty in 2006. I work in both residential and commercial real estate. Custom Category For me music was a former career and certainly a lifetime passion . As a young boy my mother taught me her love of music and soon I was a professional musician until the age of 35 at which time I needed a break from the rigors of "The Road" having spent many a night driving to gigs up & down the east coast. My young daughter helped me rekindled the musical flame with her proficiency on piano, singing and dance. In the past several years I have reconnected with my old mates from all over the country and we try to reconvene yearly for a few shows and many good times. I pledge to do more of this and enjoy the musical side of me with anyone who wants to be a part of it. Business Philosophy I am in business to work with residential & commercial buyers and sellers to inform and assist in all things real estate. I have wide experience on the buy & sell side as well as the wherewithal to work in investment real estate. I am a multi-property owner with several years of property management experience and I thrive on knowing where the good investments are in all markets. Having handled millions of dollars in real estate settlements I'm very confident and comfortable in the business from finding properties to completing settlement.
