While some of my favorite moments happen when collaborating with my family and our incredible team to serve our owners, sales clients, guests, and employees, there are so many things I love to see, do and explore along the Crystal Coast outside our office as well.
My most cherished memories are boating along our beautiful Intracoastal Waterway, discovering new islands or returning to my lifelong favorite, Bear Island. I’m married to the love of my life, Brandon, and I’m so grateful we get to raise our children with a deep connection to this incredible island and community.
A perfect Friday night for me is taking our family out to Thirsty Surfer and then heading home to enjoy a beautiful sunset over Bogue Sound.

In my free time, I love spending time with my family, trying out new recipes, and relaxing by the pool. I also enjoy staying active with walks and bike rides. One of my favorite things about living here is visiting the local fruit and vegetable markets—there's nothing better than cooking with fresh, local produce. I also love exploring the area's fantastic restaurants, where the great food, welcoming atmosphere, and often live music make for a perfect outing.

I enjoy early morning “Jesus” time, spending time with my family, cooking new recipes, lounging by the pool, exercising, and getting outside for walks or bike rides. I also love attending sporting events for our awesome kiddos, diving into home remodeling projects, and volunteering whenever I can. I also enjoy exploring the area’s amazing restaurants. A few favorites are Fish Hut, Sol Bowls, Kathryn’s Bistro & Martini Bar, and Bake Bottle and Brew (their coffee is exceptional!).

I love spending time with my wife, family, and friends. When I get some free time, you’ll usually find me out fishing, golfing, or cruising on my motorcycle. One of the best things about the Crystal Coast is the amazing people who come to enjoy the beauty of what I think is the best beach on the East Coast.

When I’m not immersed in the world of real estate, you might find me on my boat, embracing the serene beauty of our sunrises and sunsets or just an easy walk on our beautiful beach. There’s nothing quite like the tranquility of being out on the water, soaking in the sights and sounds of this stunning landscape. And I love spending quality time with my family on the beach, enjoying the simple pleasure of people-watching. Or one of the most favorite is loving my fur babies!

The Crystal Coast in North Carolina holds a special place in my heart, as I've been fortunate enough to enjoy a family beach house here my whole life. In 2003, I decided to embrace this beautiful area as my permanent residence. My husband and I love spending quality time with our friends, family, and our two dogs, Tillie and Marshall. During my leisure hours, I indulge in gardening and expanding my extensive, albeit somewhat impractical, knowledge of movies and TV shows. Our summer days are often filled with adventures on the water, whether it's boating to a nearby island or embarking on a moonlit kayaking journey. My husband, Steve, is an exceptional grill master who excels at preparing fresh, local seafood and steaks for our delicious dinners. Meanwhile, I take it upon myself to explore all the local dining options, ensuring I can offer the best recommendations to my clients and others. Some of my personal favorites include the amazing dishes at Amos Mosquitoes, the smash burgers at By the Bridge, the lettuce wraps at Coastal Haze, the crab cakes at Caribsea, the BBQ and chicken at Bogue House, and those irresistible hushpuppies at T&W Oyster Bar.

Deeply rooted in the Crystal Coast community, I share my life with my husband, Kyle, a local first responder. Together, we’re proud parents to one incredible daughter, our greatest blessing! We love embracing the local lifestyle on this beautiful coast. When I’m not working with our fabulous sales team, you’ll find me soaking up time with my family at the beach or by the pool and exploring all that this area has to offer. Having grown up here, it’s especially meaningful to raise my daughter in this special place and teach her to value the coastal lifestyle we’re so fortunate to call home. We’re lucky to have some of the best restaurants in our area. I especially love that most are locally owned and operated, each one with its own unique charm and flavor. A few of my local favorites are Gaffers, Fish Hut Grill, Flipperz, Caribsea, Rucker Johns, Lazarra’s, Sol Bowls, Prime Bistro & Wine Bar, Front Street Grill at Stillwater, City Kitchen, Promise Land Market, and Full Circle Café.

My happiest days are spent with my little loves, JJ and Athena, especially when they are splashing around at the beach or sandbar. Grandbabies are the best! I enjoy spending time with my family, playing with my pups Larry and Vinny, and sneaking away for a spa day whenever I can. I love exploring, whether it’s day-trippin’ to Beaufort or New Bern, vacationing in Maine or Spain, or taking long motorcycle rides along the Carolina coast.
