About Tom


Our family's love affair with Tennessee goes back to the days when we would travel thru the mountain peaks on the way to Florida as a child, always drawn to the windows of the
car to peer out over the breathtaking valleys stretching out between the mountains around Jellico.  And from there, right on in to adulthood as we now have a lakefront home on Norris and thousands of memories of great time with family and friends ... boating, fishing, skiing...and mostly just relaxing.  MORE...  I'm happily married all ten wonderful years to my best friend, Judy, who is super Mom to our seven year old Shannon and my twenty-four year old step-son James! Cincinnati-born and bred, we love all that Norris Lake has to offer as our "home away from home" in Greater Cincinnati.  We love to keep the odometers on our vehicles plenty busy! 

With over 15 years in youth ministry with teenagers, we're passionate about really caring about our clients, and making sure the process and the result of homebuying or homeselling is honest and successful.


Thanks goes to my team consisting of my wife, licensed over 22 years, who doubles as our bookkeeper and is experienced as a new construction specialist; my executive assistant Kim Schaefer who delivers care and attention to the detail side of the business, to our Marketing Specialist and clerical support leader Missy Yerger. I am sales leader of the 160+ agent Ohio-Indiana West Regional in Cincinnati, licensed broker in our Crestview Hills, Kentucky office...and, of course, broker and owner of Tennessee Home Finders in Tennessee.  I am  thankful most of all to our Lord for His many, many blessings.

"Making a DIFFERENCE where you live" is the slogan under which I've conducted business from my first day licensed...and here's what it means for YOU and all my clients: First, it's my promise that our company will deliver exceptional service in finding or selling your home--right where YOU live. And second, it's a tangible commitment to invest OURSELVES back into the churches, charities and community organizations where both we and our clients live.


We look forward to working with you and your family, continuing the "Making a DIFFERENCE where you live'" tradition!
