Born and raised here in Charleston, South Carolina, it is my pleasure to share this wonderful city with our many guests! As a lifelong resident, I decided nine years ago to leave the commercial real estate business for this new venture, as a tour guide for one of the most historic cities in America, Charleston. As the youngest of five boys I am very familiar to many people in this charming city, which become obvious as we walk around, but the numbers of people who greet me by name! Come for a visit and Let's Walk! All my tours can be customized upon request Born and raised in Charleston, I am a lifelong resident! My professional life spawned nearly four decades in the commercial real estate industry right here in Charleston. 9 years ago I pursued my interest in becoming a tour guide and showing off my beautiful, historic home town. I am certified and licensed as a tour guide by the City of Charleston, which means I passed a rigorous exam as well as keeping current with continuing education required by the city to remain certified. No restrictions listed above apply.
