Why you love what you do? I love what I do because I meet wonderful people and I get great satisfaction helping them. Many of my clients have become lifelong friends.

What sets you apart from your competition? My knowledge of the market after 40 years of being licensed, and as a third generation Hinsdalean, gives me an incredible competitive edge. My devotion to ethics and service are the pillars of my success.

Best thing about 2021 was? I chose to make a move to @properties Hinsdale and it has given me renewed energy and provided fabulous new cutting edge resources. And, it was my most successful year to date!

Trends on the horizon? More traditional designs and less open floor plans are making their way back, as well as more color and more wood elements.

Best advice ever given to you? No efforts go unrewarded. Always do the right thing.

Most looking forward to in 2022? The New Year brings renewed hope for a great year, wonderful new clients, an expanded sphere of influence, and interesting learning experiences.
