Educated at Kansas State University, with a degree in Mathematics and Statistics, and a Master's Degree in Athletic Administration, I first moved to Celebration in June of 1999 to work for Disney Sports Premium Sales.  Previously, I had a successful career in Division I College Sports having working at The University of Miami (FL) Athletic Department as the Assistant Director of Corporate Sponsorship Sales; The University of Texas at Austin in Marketing & Promotions for Women's Athletics; and Kansas State University (my alma mater) in Football Operations, Marketing & Promotions for both Men's and Women's Athletics. I became a realtor after working 10 years working with Disney in Sports Sales & Operations.  Years of experience have allowed me to develop a strong understanding of families' wants, needs, and desires in purchasing a home in the Central Florida Area.  I specialize in communities such as Celebration, Champions Gate, Reunion, Dr. Phillips, Windermere, Hunter's Creek, Baldwin Park (downtown Orlando), Avalon Park (East Orlando), Lake Nona, and Disney's Golden Oak.  I was the first realtor to sell a home in Disney's Golden Oak and have been featured in the Wall Street Journal. With a passion for Celebration and the surrounding areas, I have had the privilege of being heavily involved in Community Functions and am on the Board of Directors for the Celebration Exotic Car Festival.  Held in April, this annual four day charity event, founded in 2004, directly benefits youth organizations such as the Make-a-Wish Foundation, Special Olympics, Noah's Light Foundation, and project 34747 to name a few. My wife, Marissa Hernandez-Crawford, and I were married at the Celebration Hotel (now The Bohemian) in 2002.  It was the first ever wedding at the hotel.  Our two children were born at the Celebration Hospital and we signed our first purchase agreement to build our very own David Weekley Home in East Village in 2003.  We are TRULY a Central Florida Family from start to finish! As CORE4 Realty Group continues to develop and grow with Keller Williams at the Lakes, we will be utilizing our bi-lingual speaking. Luxury International Designation, and talent.  Our goal is to make you, our client, the number one priority by ensuring our CORE4 Values:  Caring, Organized, Reliable, and Exceeding Your Every Expectation.  I look forward to working with you and your family in finding that "perfect" place to call home!
