I have been happily married to my wife, Jamie, for over 20 years and have 3 incredible kids – Kayden, Kendall, and Kyla.Ā  We met in college while I was attending Western Michigan University studying Secondary Education (Drafting & Design) and she was studying Nursing at Grand Valley State University.Ā  After graduating, I began work as a design engineer.Ā  Through various companies, large and small, I had the opportunity to work in fuel systems design and agricultural design.Ā  During my time in a traditional office setting, my wife and I began our real estate journey.Ā  From finishing off our lower level in our first home together, to flipping several homes, and purchasing rental properties, real estate has been a part of much of our marriage together.Ā  Throughout these experiences, I have had the opportunity to learn a lot about what makes a quality home from the foundation up.

Shortly after our daughter was born in 2015, we both decided on new adventures.Ā  Jamie went full time into real estate and I left a corporate office setting to begin designing from home.Ā  That decision led me to an opportunity to work with a local high end architect completing construction drawings initially, along with some design opportunities.Ā  The knowledge gained working in this setting provides me with a unique prospective in the real estate world.Ā  As Jamie’s schedule continued to grow with clients, I decided to get my real estate license as well.

A successful real estate transaction starts with good partnership! Ā I believe in partnering with buyers and sellers. Ā I bring 15+ years of experience in sales and marketing to the table, along with construction and design experience in the home industry. Ā Whether you are looking to buy or sell, my prior experiences, books I have read, and associations I have kept, taught me the best negotiation techniques and problem-solving skills to get you the best value possible for your specific needs and goals. In a tight market with low inventory and where multiple offers are common, you want a REALTORĀ® that will go the extra mile to get a deal done! I look forward to serving my clients and helping them find what is important to them.
