My background consists of more than 20 years hands-on experience in the development and deployment of successful marketing tools, while engaged in the Real Estate Industry as a builder, developer, real estate broker and entrepreneur.

Most recently, since 2004, I have been the owner and Principal Broker of Lake Realty Group in New Buffalo, MI. I have been the top Buyer’s Broker in the Southwest Michigan lakefront market (see thedailylistings.com/rank.pdf).

Almost 100% of my leads were generated by internet systems I developed or implemented myself. Using these systems allowed us to reduce our advertising budget by 95% while dramatically increasing the number of high quality, targeted leads. In October 2008, I merged my real estate brokerage with another firm, where I continue to serve as an outside consultant.
