A little bit about me...

After spending 28 years in public education—24 of those right here in Smithville—I’m excited to begin a new chapter in real estate, serving both Missouri and Kansas. I’ve spent the last two decades as a teacher, coach, and athletic administrator, and now I’m looking forward to using those same leadership and relationship-building skills to guide clients through the home buying and selling process.

Smithville has been home for over 50 years, and I’ve seen firsthand how much our community has grown and evolved. As someone deeply connected to this area, I’m passionate about helping others find their place here, whether they’re planting roots for the first time or making a fresh start.

I’m proud to be part of the Eric Craig Real Estate Team—it’s a supportive, energetic environment that reminds me a lot of the team atmosphere I’ve always loved. Currently, I also coach football at William Jewell College in Liberty, MO, and I enjoy all things sports, especially watching my sons, Jake and Cole, compete. My wife Peggy and I have been married for 25 years, and our family includes our two English Labs, Aggie and Allie, and our cat, Rocky.

Real estate is about people, and I’m here to help you feel confident, comfortable, and informed every step of the way. I’m always happy to share my experience, answer questions, and be a trusted guide as you navigate your real estate journey
