He believes in treating the customer with respect, honesty and integrity.

He understands the necessity of involvement with the board that governs your area. Dennis has been greatly involved with the Northeastern Board of REALTORs over the years, and served as President in 2004. He is active I making sure that the real estate industry remains proactive in bringing satisfaction to it’s customers and to the members of the industry.

For fun, Dennis enjoys following baseball, basketball and football, from the high school level through the Pro’s.

Attending concerts and plays are a great reliever of stress. He loves all kinds of music, and his years as a part-time DJ were a great way to keep in touch with something he valued so much. Although he is no longer actively working as a DJ, you can occasionally find him playing music free of charge for a civic event in the area.
