Every day is busy from start to finish. Our historic building requires special care and I love maintaining the grounds of this one-of-a-kind property.

30 years! Growing up, I worked alongside my father repairing refrigerators. Then I started working at The Franklin Residences.

I love going to the beach and attending as many Philly sporting events as I can. Go birds!

Philadelphia sports stadiums! If I’m not attending the game in person, then you can find me at Chickie’s and Pete’s watching the game with fellow fans.

I have three wonderful grandchildren with my fourth grandchild arriving in May. My favorite way to disconnect and relax is embarking on a cruise twice a year. I own a total of four properties in the Fishtown and Wildwood area.
