I’m a native Oregonian, born in southern Oregon. Early in life, we moved to Polk County where I attended Independence Elementary and then Salem Academy for middle school. At Dallas High School I was active in the Future Farmers of America National Honors Society and was awarded Star Farmer in my senior year.
I earned a Bachelor of Science degree at Oregon State University where I was also a founding member of the OSU Scuba Club and Executive Coordinator for several years. I graduated in 2001 and moved to eastern Oregon to serve as a juvenile probation counselor for Grant County.
In 2004 I moved back to the Willamette Valley for family reasons. I earned my real estate license in 2005 and sold homes in Linn, Benton, Polk and Marion counties for 11 years before moving my business to Bend. My specialties are first time home buyers, rural, and investment properties. I love the challenges of figuring out my clients’ needs and goals, and helping them find their ideal property.
I have a loving wife and son and enjoy spending as much time with them as possible.
I’m a member of several clubs and organizations. My passion for vehicles keeps me active in the Toyota Land Cruiser Association and their local chapter, Cascade Cruisers.
I’m passionate about the outdoors and enjoy backpacking, camping, offroading, hunting, woods paintball, and just being outside.
