REALTOR®
A native South Carolinian, David brought his award-winning expertise to Daufuskie in 2024. Formerly a top-producing REALTOR® in Aiken, SC, he dominated the luxury equestrian real estate market, earning titles such as Top Individual Agent and High Selling Agent. David’s “championship” approach stems from a prestigious former career as a World Champion horse trainer and two-time Rider of the Year. He translates that elite business acumen into successful, high-stakes transactions for his clients. Deeply committed to real estate ethics, David actively serves on the SC Association of REALTORS® Professional Standards and Grievance Committees, ensuring every Daufuskie Island land or home sale is handled with absolute integrity. A College of Charleston alumnus, David lives the island lifestyle he sells—exploring the coast, riding in the hunter arena, and enjoying the wilderness with his three children and dogs.
