A true Southern girl, Meg grew up in Memphis before transferring with her family to Dallas and Jacksonville for a year each. Returning to Texas, she graduated from Abilene Christian University with a degree in accounting. Meg and her husband Mark raised their daughter and son in Gwinnett County where Meg still continues her volunteer work with youth swimming. In 2014, Mark and Meg packed up their dog Max and moved to Big Canoe®. They desired a community that would provide an abundance of activities to enjoy as they entered the empty nest phase of their lives and one that would provide fun activities to enjoy with their two grandsons. Big Canoe® has been a home run in both counts.
Meg brings her high energy and attention to detail as she transitions from her successful accounting career of more than 40 years to real estate. Her years of forensic accounting taught her how to go above and beyond in her research for her business clients, an approach she is finding serves her real estate clients perfectly. Her years of consulting with the Department of Justice has trained her to pay attention to details, both the obvious and the obscure. Careful listening is also a key element of that training and she is finding it effective as she works with clients to find their perfect home. Her clients are already benefiting from her ability to thoroughly research property and analyze the data findings from that research as she helps them determine the value of the property they are buying or selling. Recognizing that purchasing and selling a home are two of the biggest personal business transactions her clients will ever experience is the final benefit that makes Meg a natural choice as your Realtor®.

I started my mortgage banking career in Seminole, Florida in 1972 and moved to Marietta, Georgia in 1976 and was employed by Decatur Federal where I served as a branch manager and mortgage officer in Roswell and Marietta. I spent over 10 years originating mortgage loans and decided to move into construction and development lending. I went through several bank mergers where I served as senior vice president in the construction loan department until 2009 when I retired due to the economy.
I decided in 1996 to get my real estate license; however I did not pursue it full time until 2009. I have had a few opportunities to go back into banking, however I enjoy real estate too much. I still continue to stay involved with mortgage lending since it gives me an advantage when working with clients. I feel that I can help them through the complicated mortgage process.
My wife and I have built five homes ourselves and recently remodeled our present home in Big Canoe®. I am very familiar with the Forsyth, Cherokee and North Fulton markets.
My wife and I have two children and four grandchildren, soon to be five. My wife works part time at Gibbs Garden and we are both active at the Big Canoe® Chapel. Big Canoe® is our home and we plan to stay here.

After earning a degree in Aerospace Engineering from the University of Florida, I spent 13 years at Lockheed Aircraft in Marietta, Georgia. In 1980, I transitioned to the petroleum equipment industry, where I founded and operated Equipment Sales Inc. for a decade before successfully selling the company to a larger corporation in 1990. Over the next 35 years, I held various leadership roles in robotics and factory automation with two companies, culminating in my retirement from the industry in 2021.
Real estate has always been a personal interest, dating back to my early days at Lockheed. In 2022, I earned my Georgia real estate salesperson license and joined the Harry Norman Realtors team at the Big Canoe office in Jasper, Georgia. Later that year, I partnered with Bobby Parish to establish a dedicated commercial real estate team. Together, we have built strong relationships within the Pickens County and Jasper communities, securing 23 commercial property listings valued at over $40 million in total.
I reside in Big Canoe, Jasper, Georgia, with my wife, Virginia, and our dog, Bandit. Outside of work, I enjoy flying, RV camping, and hiking.
