I am originally from NJ and have been living here since 1993. I am an attorney and have been practicing for about 28 years. I have my own practice and focus on commercial and residential real estate closings as well as estate planning.

My true love comes in mentoring young people and making connections. I started my volunteer efforts about 10 years ago and always feel I could do more. Volunteering and giving back is a great way to meet amazing people and friends. Those that also give back share a common interest and goal to help others…it’s what binds us together.

I served as the Chairperson on the Executive board of the Alpharetta Chamber of Commerce, I volunteered with Young Men Service League, I served on the Advisory Board for the North Fulton Commerce Charity and currently serve as a member of the Alpharetta Rotary Club. I love being able to give back and am so impressed with those that truly make a difference in our community. I believe that everything in our community is connected; so if people are giving back, businesses are thriving and hiring, people are moving in, and the community as a whole, is flourishing.
