Another couple purchased a new construction home but the home had some major last minute issues that needed to be addressed prior to closing. Bernard arranged for the builder to cover the unexpected costs of a temporary place to live while the home was completed. Needless to say, the family was grateful. He also gives back to his fellow brothers and sisters in the military by providing educational workshops at both NAS Jax and Mayport basses where he provides valuable information about the home buying process. He is actively involved in the non-profitaround the world through deployments has allowed Bernard to build an understanding and respect for diverse populations and cultures which has proven beneficial to his real estate business. He is happily married to his wife Niegen who he says is his hero. “Watching her as a mother is a true inspiration of power, strength, and sacrifice that continues to encourage me”. Bernard enjoys his time off playing basketball at his community court, reading business and real estate best sellers, listening to Ted Talks, but mostly supporting the Jacksonville Jaguars by attending all season games!
