Agent Details
About Chad
I started my passion for real estate in Washington, DC. I grew up a short drive from the district in Springfield, VA and went to school nearby at James Madison University (JMU). In 2005, the pull of the city was strong, My wife and I sold our condo in Shirlington, VA and bought our first mixed use property on H St. NE in Washington, DC. I has been pursuing my love of real estate ever since. The experience gained from renovation projects and my interest in the history of buildings, stoked my desire to do even more in real estate. Becoming a licensed real estate agent enabled me to leverage my skills and interests to help people in their journey to buy real estate. Before becoming a real estate professional, I enjoyed a career as a Forensic Scientist. Upon graduation from JMU Ichose a career as a DNA analyst. First in a paternity laboratory in McLean, VA and then at the Armed Forces DNA Identification Laboratory in Rockville, MD. Having accomplished much in the forensic field from lectures to identifications of missing military personnel to putting the bad guys away, I decided to turn my forensic analytical skills and attention to detail to the real estate market.
