Prior to getting into real estate in 2005, and moving
with his wife to the Carolinas, John’s career included financial
executive positions with American Airlines ® and Marriott ®
corporations. This meant a lot of traveling and living in various
locations including Boston, New York, Chicago, Dallas, and Atlanta.
While in Chicago, John became an out-of-state “Preferred Broker”
for the Cliffs Communities ® which included conducting joint sales
presentations to northern clients with Cliffs Communities ®
personnel. John’s education includes college business degrees in
Hospitality Business (BA-Michigan State University) and Finance

State University), and Graduate MRE Studies (REALTOR ® University).
His Masters Degree in Real Estate (MRE) is unique to the industry. He
is one of three individuals in the Carolinas to hold this graduate
school credential which focuses on property marketing and financial
returns for clients. John is a member of Rotary International®. He
enjoys working on charity fundraisers. In fact, he makes frequent
trips north to attend Rotary and church fundraisers where he promotes
the Carolina lifestyle and listed properties to his northern
clientele. He donates discovery packages for their “live auction”
charity events, and personally attends those events to maximize the
marketing impact. John’s interests include golf, tennis, boating,
and college sports. He also has fun with his nickname “Clark Kent,”
and is known to many as SuperRealEstateMan!
