I got my real estate license in 2014 after years in restaurants and hotels, including Bonefish Grill, Marriott, and Cooper’s Hawk. Before that I served in the US Army from 1992 to 2002 as a Rigger. Hospitality taught me how to read a room. Packing parachutes taught me that the details are the whole job.

Today I’m an equal partner at Gibson Group, brokered by Real of Ohio, working out of Plain City and all over Central Ohio. I sit on the Columbus REALTORS® Grievance and Professional Standards panels and teach the ABR designation course. Translation: I spend a lot of time with the rules most agents only read when they’re in trouble.

Outside of work, my wife Lindsay and I started the Reagan Michael White Fund through OhioHealth Riverside Methodist Hospital to support families facing high risk pregnancies and infant loss. I’d rather skip the small talk and get to what matters. My saying is simple: work works, period.
