Since spending my high school summers working at the Pawleys Island Pavillion; I dreamed of building a life in the Low Country of South Carolina. My wife, Karen from Greensboro, NC graduated from UNC Chapel Hill; and I have been fortunate to raise two children. Edward graduated from the Univ. of South Carolina with a double major in Finance & Real Estate. (also played football under Lou Holtz there). He later earned his masters in Real Estate Development from Clemson University. Presently living in Columbia & owner/broker of Palmetto Estates real estate sales & development company. (http://www.palmettoestates.com/ ) My daughter, Clark also graduated from the Univ. of South Carolina and is an International Model. Recently married to Kenny Florian in Brookgreen Gardens and resides in the Los Angeles, Ca. area.Family has always been a priority with us, and devote many hours to church and community activities. I was born & raised in the Greenville, SC area of Taylors. Graduated from Wade Hampton and then attended a division of Texas A & M in Stephenville, Texas.Although traveling many years around the United States, my southern roots pulled me back and I began my Real Estate career in 1996 with Century 21 in Southern Pines/Pinehurst, NC. We moved to the Ricefields community in Pawleys Island in 1999 and I bagan my affiliation with James W. Smith Real Estate. From the year 2000 to date, I have been the sales agent and or the listing agent of the year. I am consistenley a top 5 agent in the Pawleys Island/Litchfield area. There are few decisions in life that are as significant as buying or selling a home.
