Native of Alexandria.  Educated in public schools.  I became a Realtor after a long career in food and other sales asociated to wholesale distributors and manufactures.  Real Estate sales were not new to me, though, I had helped my father develope a subdivision in West Monroe, Louisiana in family property.  Since entering Real Estate activity full time I have handled both commercial and residential properties. I have had experience in all phases of commercial, covering commision applications, Enviromental Regulations, City Council presentations, and the other requirements pertaining to commercial property sales.  While at L.S.U. I had a course in Real Estate sales and appraisals so was prepared and proud to add the Real Estate School to my knowledge and experience before becomming an active realtor.
