Born and raised in New Orleans, I received a BS in Geology from LSU, then a year later married my lifelong wife and partner (47 years and counting). When the oil industry moved offshore, we decided to head to the mountains, first in Colorado for 20 years then settling in New Mexico in 1998.  After our first visit to Ruidoso, we fell in love with the place, a perfect mix of Southwest style, cool dry climate, and friendly village attitude.

I began my real estate career in 1984, logging 26 years before taking a break in 2010, only recently getting really excited about real estate once again.  The KW Casa Ideal vision of what modern real estate should be was enough to get me back in the saddle. After hundreds of real estate transactions, I can draw from my experience to help folks buy and sell their most important asset. By helping clients handle any potential anxiety and providing support every step of the way, every real estate transaction will be as stress free as a walk in the cool pines.
