US Army Retired Vietnam War veteran who services buyers and sellers in Greater San Antonio and surrounding areas. Professional services include commercial real estate leasing, and residential new construction and pre-owned home sales. After leaving the Army in 1990, I worked with Lab Corp of America as a medical technologist, and worked my way up to the Night Operations Manager, supervising 50 technologists and technicians performing various laboratory testing on blood samples and other body fluids. I made the career change to the real estate industry in 2002 after retiring a second time from the medical field. Started with Keller Williams Realty that same year, but now I am presently with Brown Realty SA, an Independent small brokerage firm that specializes in commercial leasing, residential sales, and property management.
