‘

I retired in 2014 after over forty years in education to join my wife Penny in real estate. She has since retired and after 9 years in Real Estate, I have now joined Samson Properties.

Most of my career in Education was working in the Fairfax County Public School System. I served as a Principal of Oakton High School , as well as an Assistant Principal. Prior to Oakton High School, I was the Director of Student Activities at James Madison High School, as well as a classroom teacher, and coach. My career with Fairfax County Schools spanned from 1973 until 2004.

After retiring from Fairfax County, I worked as an Adjunct Professor for the University of Virginia’s Curry School of Education and returned to my roots as a classroom teacher for The James Monroe High School in Fredericksburg where I taught for seven years as a Special Education teacher, and Social Studies Department chair.

With my background in education, I developed a deep understanding that the relationships with the people you work with are what matters most and the key to success. In my role as an administrator, I developed a vast experience in dealing with people and problem solving. I believe I bring that skill set to my clients by assisting people in the greater Northern Virginia area with their real estate needs.

Penny & I currently reside in Lake of the Woods, where we have been for the past twenty years. We are the proud parents of three young men. Our son Chad and daughters, Maya , a freshman at GW University and Ella a senior at Chantilly HS live in Chantilly. Chad is an IT representative for a major corporation. Michael, a middle school math teacher, lives in Atlantic Beach Florida, with his wife Carol and three daughters Maya, Chole and Amelia, and our youngest son Ryan, makes his home in Virginia at Lake of the Woods, with his wife Celeste and children, Xavier, Trinity and Reagan.
