Get to Know Me

Elevating Homeownership with Heart and Authenticity

In the realm of real estate, my approach stands as a testament to authenticity, genuine connections, and an unwavering dedication to my clients. Rooted in the enduring values of hard work, integrity, and a deep love for people instilled in me amidst the fields of my grandparents' farm in southern Indiana, my career has been guided by these timeless principles. Every interaction and transaction is approached with sincerity and warmth, reflecting not just my expertise but also a profound respect for the trust my clients place in me.
 
At the tender age of 20, my entrepreneurial spirit led me to the bustling heart of opportunity, New York City. What began as a brief immersion in the city's vibrant energy transformed into a seven-year journey, where I not only navigated its labyrinthine avenues but also found solace in the serene retreats of East Hampton and experienced the sophistication of Short Hills, New Jersey. These diverse environments bestowed upon me a profound understanding of the desires accompanying different lifestyles. I learned that luxury is not merely material opulence.
 
My professional journey, intertwined with renowned brands like Ralph Lauren and Restoration Hardware, deepened my understanding of luxury lifestyles. Working alongside industry visionaries, I absorbed the essence of timeless elegance and the art of creating spaces that exude sophistication. These experiences reinforced the notion that true luxury transcends trends; it embodies an enduring quality that stands the test of time. Luxury, as Ralph Lauren aptly put it, is a sensibility—an approach to life that emphasizes personal style and the creation of environments marked by comfort and ease. These profound lessons have become the guiding principles of my approach to real estate.
 
Despite the transformative experiences in the Northeast, there has always been a magnetic pull drawing me back to the comforting embrace of the Midwest. With its vast landscapes, close-knit communities, and genuine warmth, the Midwest holds a unique charm that deeply resonates with my core values. It's not merely a spot on the map; it's a state of mind—a haven where authenticity and sincerity are treasured. Here, relationships blossom organically, mirroring the way crops thrive in the fertile soil tended by my family. As I refocus my vision on the heartland where my journey began, I am propelled by a profound desire to contribute, to create, and to craft experiences that genuinely align with the essence of the Midwest spirit.
 
In 2018, my life took a significant turn when I crossed paths with the Somerville Team, marking the beginning of a transformative chapter in my real estate journey. Under the expert guidance of Libby Somerville, Kim Baxter, and Stevee Clifton, I embarked on this exciting path, armed with their invaluable mentorship. Their wisdom and unwavering support served as the cornerstone upon which my success in the industry was built. Today, every transaction I handle is a living testament to their teachings, a constant reminder of the profound impact they've had on my career and my view of real estate. I owe an immeasurable debt of gratitude to them, for they have not only guided my professional path but also infused the very essence of my approach to this dynamic field.
 
Introducing Lockstep Realty and the eagerly anticipated arrival of eXp | LUXURY in 2024 signifies more than a mere business venture—it embodies a heartfelt commitment to redefine the essence of home in the Midwest and specifically our community. Through this endeavor, my aspiration is to seamlessly weave a tapestry of sophistication with sincerity, crafting spaces where families not only dwell but genuinely flourish. My personal journey, from the tranquility of farm life to the artistry of crafting dream homes, stands as a testament to the transformative impact of sincere dedication and authentic relationships. As I pave the way for a new era of homeownership throughout greater Indianapolis, I believe that a house transcends its physicality and becomes a home when it is constructed with heart, meticulous care, and a profound understanding of the human experience. I welcome you to a realm where luxury is a way of living, rich with authentic connections and the very essence of what it means to truly call a place your own.

Embracing the Heart of Home

In the delightful span of my six-year marriage, I've discovered unparalleled joy in the everyday togetherness shared with my family and our lovable American Brittany, Cooper. These moments, whether cozy snuggles on the couch or playful romps in the backyard, have profoundly shaped my perspectives. They've taught me that a house isn't just a structure; it's a haven where every member of the family, furry ones included, deserves to revel in comfort and happiness. After all, finding the perfect home means ensuring that even our four-legged companions wag their tails in approval!

Cultivating Excellence through Partnerships

In the pursuit of crafting dream homes, I've cultivated meaningful partnerships with exceptional businesses like Cherished Woodcraft and Heath Outdoor. Cherished Woodcraft, renowned for their expertise in custom cabinetry and woodworking, brings an unparalleled touch of artistry and craftsmanship to every home. Simultaneously, Heath Outdoor's mastery in landscaping transforms outdoor spaces into serene sanctuaries, seamlessly connecting homes with the natural beauty that envelops them. These collaborations underscore my commitment to quality, ensuring that every facet of a home mirrors the dreams and aspirations of its inhabitants, making each residence not just a dwelling but a testament to the art of living.

A Legacy of Authentic Connections

My legacy is woven with the simple threads of human connections, where each smile, every shared moment, and the warmth of belonging define its fabric. I aspire to be remembered as the person who guided families to their place in the world, where they felt not just sheltered, but truly embraced. It's about crafting a legacy of kindness, of making people feel cherished and understood. My story is one of everyday moments, of seeing, hearing, and valuing individuals in a way that enriches lives, one heartfelt connection at a time.
