As a lifetime resident of central Ohio, I have lived on the south end and south-west side of Columbus, Grove City, Pickaway County, Chillicothe, and currently reside in Gahanna with my wife Lora.

As a father and grandfather quality and quantity time with family is very important to me.   My family is very active and loves the outdoors.     We often spend family time in nature.    I have many hobbies;  some of which are; hiking, camping, hunting, canoeing, and bee keeping.

I retired from AT&T in 2017 and have done extensive travel in the USA (mostly national parks).   Lora and I also went to France in 2023 and plan another trip to Europe in 2026.   My retirement jobs have been rewarding.    I am an NRA and self defense instructor and a building sub at Chaplefield Elementary School in Gahanna.

I graduated from the University of Dayton in 1986 with a degree in Industrial Engineering with a minor in Mechanical Engineering.    At AT&T I had jobs in engineering, planning, sales, field operations, and call center operations.    I was responsible for large vehicle fleets and several company properties.

I have dabbled in real estate over the last 40 years including flipping a few houses and taking care of my parents’ rental properties.   In addition to residential sales I would like to buy and manage rental properties.    I am excited to join the Roby Realty Team and look forward to getting to know everyone.
