Professional Background

My career started with a couple degrees from SIUE and has kept me in the area since. Although my studies were focused on mathematics and computer science, I also picked up a minor in business. The link between traditional business and technology lead to eight years working for one of the most exciting 3D graphic companies in the world, Silicon Graphics.

In the mid '90s the Internet was part of our everyday life in the tech business, and was ready for the masses. So, in 1995, I started a company called "Wildfire" http://www.wildfire.net. Ask me about the details someday, but the sites Wildfire developed kept leading back to the local Real Estate markets. Namely, the sites like the one you are viewing right now and 20+ others ...


Why list with me? Unique Advantage

I'll use the above domains to market your property.

15+ Years Full-Time Internet Experience
It's a proven fact that buyers are moving to the Internet to find their next home. As president of Wildfire Internet, I put over 15 years of Internet marketing experience to work for you.

A Clear Advantage - Extra Eyes on your Listing
Besides the sites any agent can place your listing on, you'll have the clear advantage of being listed on my CityPage network which includes the pure city domains, collinsville.com, edwardsville.com, glencarbon.com, granitecity.com, pontoonbeach.com. You'll also be included on alton.net, ofallon.net, maryvilleillinois.com and over 15 other supporting sites.

So, why does this matter?
Because the CityPage network brings over 15,000 unique visitors each month and you'll be featured on the home page of all those sites! In many cases, the first site an outside buyer finds is the named city site.

There are literally thousands of homes in the area MLS, but your listing is presented on the home pages and key pages of the first site buyers may visit.
