I come from a family where real estate, hard work, and the outdoors were always part of daily life. My father was a broker, so I grew up seeing firsthand how important honesty, communication, and follow-through are when helping people make major decisions in regards to buying or selling their property. My family is also full of avid hunters, which gave me a deep respect for land and an understanding of how people use it for recreation, income, and long-term investment.
My grandfather was a successful financial advisor who helped countless families reach their financial goals, and that influence shaped how I look at land ownership—as both a lifestyle and a strategic asset. I bring a blue-collar background to my work, which means I value straight answers, strong work ethic, and getting things done the right way. As an avid bowhunter and landowner myself, I understand what makes a property functional and valuable for wildlife, recreation, and future growth.
Outside of work, I’m proud to be a husband to a wonderful wife and a father to two young children, which keeps me grounded and focused on building a stable future. I enjoy making habitat improvements on my own land and have working knowledge in CRP programs, timber harvest, and tillable acreage. I aim to serve clients across the region by providing dependable support and a genuine passion for land and the people who own it.
