What happens when a life built on movement finds a new stage in real estate? We sit down with Lisa to follow her arc from Spring Hill to Disney entertainment, onto the Olympic floor in Atlanta, through a brutal knee reconstruction, and into a ballroom career that taught her timing, trust, and poise under pressure. The story is part grit, part artistry, and fully human—rooted in family, community, and a deep need to help people feel at home.

We unpack the pivots that shaped her path: choosing Atlanta for creative opportunity, discovering ballroom by chance at a salsa and swing club, rising fast to win Ohio Star Ball, and partnering with her now-husband both on the dance floor and in life. When the pull of living by the water, taking care of parents, and a better rhythm for their kids called, the family left landlocked Atlanta for Tampa Bay. That move sharpened Lisa’s understanding of relocation—from military moves to senior living decisions to finding the local spots that make a neighborhood feel like yours.

What makes her approach to real estate different is everything that came before it. A builder father taught her how homes are made. Coaching figure skaters gave her a language for flow and balance. Costume design honed her eye for fit, finish, and story—skills she now uses for staging and marketing. Most of all, performance trained her to manage nerves, read the room, and keep the experience warm, clear, and steady when the stakes feel high. If you want a people-first guide who knows Tampa Bay and believes preparation beats panic, you’ll find practical takeaways and a lot of heart here.
