After graduating high school and not knowing what I wanted to do with my life and because I was only 140 lbs. and 5'7" tall everyone told me I could never make it in the Marine Corps. This made me more determined to join. I enlisted in the Marine's in October of 1960 and after 16 weeks of intense training at Paris Island my weight had increased to 165 lbs. and I was now 5'10".
My tour of duty in the Marine Corps was from 1960 to 1964. During that time I attended the University of South Carolina and meet Joan who was to become my bride in May of 1965. Joan was living in Beaufort, South Carolina with her parents, her brother and her twin sister.
After receiving an Honorable Discharge from the Marine Corps, I returned to Rhode Island, attended the University of Rhode Island and began my career with the United States Postal Service as a clerk/carrier. My oldest son Michael came aboard in March of 1967, that's when we decided we needed a home of our own. I worked 3 jobs, the post office, driving school busses, and managing baseball batting cages at Misquamicut beach. Joan worked at one of the local banks and in 1969 we built our first home. November of that year Steven was born. Joan and I have been married 42 years; have two great daughters in law, and 5 fantastic grandchildren ranging in age from 6 mo. to 19 years of age

. 
At the age of 30, I was appointed supervisor at the Westerly, RI post office, later became Post Master in Kenyon, RI and in 1980 was appointed to the Post Master's position in West Kingston, RI.
After 30 years including 4 with the military I opted to accept an early retirement in 1991. The retirement gig was great for about 2 weeks, that's when I decided that I was too young to quite the working circuit. After conferring with several people whose input I trusted they all agreed because of my background in dealing with people, finances and negotiations that I should consider real estate. I was a little apprehensive at first but decided to give it a try and I do not regret this for one moment. Real estate is the only business that you continually meet new friends. I am now in my 17th year as a realtor. I have continuously been in the Multi-Million Dollar Clubs including 100% Club, Platinum Club and Re/Max Hall of Fame.

My motto "Focus, Pure and Simple" pertains to every real estate transaction. I am an "ABR" Accredited Buyer Representative and an "SRES" Senior Real Estate Specialist.

I begin my fourth year as a member of Bob'sTeam where I specialize in working with both first-time home-buyer’s and real estate investor’s. Born and raised in Point Judith, RI, I am familiar with the pulse of South County, RI living. 

Prior to getting the real estate bug, I was employed in the radio/television industry in Albany, New York where I did free lance work for ESPN, along with serving as the radio play-by-play voice of the Tri-City Valley Cats (Houston Astros single A affiliate) and Siena College basketball.
I am a member of the Kent, Washington and Rhode Island Associations of Realtors and am actively involved with Business Networking International (BNI). Currently I’m a chapter vice president. I’m a graduate of Narragansett High School and Dean College.

Specializing in "first time homebuyer" representation means that I am familiar with all the specialty mortgage programs, have direct contact with other real estate professionals (i.e. attorneys, home inspectors, insurance brokers, appraisers, contractors). I explain the details and guide clients through the entire home buying process

I love my work and especially proud to be a member of Bob’s Team @ Re/Max Flagship.

I live in Charlestown, Rhode Island with my two sons.  We have enjoyed living in this community for the last 9 years. Since moving to Rhode Island, when I was 6 years old, I have had the pleasure of experiencing the many different areas of the State from one end to the other. This is where I grew up, socialized and studied. Look for me running on the roads of RI as I may be training for the next local charity road race or you might find me on the soccer fields cheering for my sons’ team. I love organic gardening, recycling and watching my carbon footprint, so occasionally you may even find me in an organic garden harvesting for the local CSA. When I’m showing homes in Rhode Island, I get to see how others do their part in keeping our planet green.

I have experience in selling and managing commercial real estate; my legal and financial background also gives me additional insight into commercial real estate values. With my knowledge of Rhode Island and my past professional experience I can be of great assistance to real estate buyers from first-time homebuyers to investors looking for commercial properties or families looking for that vacation getaway.

Being a member of Bob’s Team @ Re/Max Flagship brings me the satisfaction of  knowing that my clients are well served by our availability and broad knowledge base.
