The beauty of these mountains has a magnetic attraction, and I easily chose to live here as a young entrepreneur over 20 years ago. Because I am driven by a passion to help people, I owned and managed six fitness clubs. Over the years, my dedication has been reflected in the awards I have received. In 2019, our local Oakley Plaza Gold's Gym achieved the highest success of all the clubs of that size, and the Gold's Gym Cooperation awarded me General Manager of the Year. That reward added to my accomplishments of Optimist of the Year from the Asheville Optimist Club and the Stephen’s Minister Leadership Award for completing training in order to counsel others to success along their life’s path.

I have that same commitment to guidance and leadership for my family. We are all artists or musicians, and we love the art and music that is such a vibrant part of Asheville and its sister cities of WNC’s culture. I dabble in oil painting, while my daughter, Gabriela, plays and sings, and my son, Tucker, loves all the brass. My daughter, Aixa, met her husband while they both attended UNC Greensboro to study music. We all love to travel and explore the sights of our communities like tourists! My parents retired here, and my brother owns and operates the successful Asheville Pizza Company, a local favorite.

Because I know what it takes to stay on top of the steps to success in health and wellness, I am sure it’s no surprise that I exercise every day. That is what I bring to the table as your Beverly-Hanks real estate agent—I will maintain the dedication and focus it takes to be sure your hopes are realized and your dreams come true.
