We are home.®
Born and raised in Grosse Pointe Farms, Michigan, I moved to Asheville in 1985 after graduating from Hillsdale College with a B.A. in Political Economics. The following year, I married Asheville native Leslie Byrd. We have a daughter and son who also live in Asheville.
Since arriving in Asheville in the 1980s, I have seen firsthand the immense growth of the region—all of which makes Asheville a unique place to live. During the summer, I enjoy spending free time with family and friends on Lake Summit in south Henderson County. You can find me there by a bonfire and playing a serious game of corn hole.
I began my real estate career after 25 years as an Asheville business owner. My family’s retail garden centers and wholesale greenhouses grew to include a landscape division. Through those connections, I came to work with developer Biltmore Farms on many properties marketed by Beverly-Hanks since the company’s inception. Some of these properties include Biltmore Park, The Ramble Biltmore Forest, Biltmore Lake, and South Cliff.
As your full-time real estate agent, I am able to incorporate this wealth of Biltmore Farms experience with all I have learned as a private real estate investor in both residential property and commercial development. As a business owner in retail, wholesale, and service industries, I have a true appreciation of how each real estate transaction may be the largest decision in a person’s life.
Whether you are buying or selling a home, looking for an investment, or starting a business, I am available to help you at every step with your unique needs.
