"Home is where one starts from." – T. S. Eliot

Your home isn't just the place where you keep all your other pants. It's the setting of your story, the place where your personal epic begins. As a Rochester native and second generation REALTOR® there isn't much I haven’t seen and I’m starting to get the grey hair in my beard to prove it. After serving in the US Army from 2000 to 2005 I went on to study Furniture Design in the Upper Peninsula of Michigan where in my off time I taught myself how to sail on Lake Superior and how to fly fish in the small trout streams off the logging trails way off in the woods. From there I went on to study English Rhetoric and Writing at UW where I further developed my passion for classic texts and honed my ability to craft a sound argument; a skillset that has served me well as a negotiator. After College my wife, Felicity, and I moved back to Rochester where Felicity began her career in Virology and Parasitology at the Mayo Clinic. I understand that expertise matters, and with years of experience, a long list of satisfied clients, and a history in leadership roles within my MLS I have the chops to back it up. But I believe that trust and communication matter more. And I am there for my clients not only through even step of the process but long after the sale as well. I am always striving to master new technology that allows me to work more efficiently for my clients. But in my personal life I prefer to unplug whenever I can, forgoing power tools for traditional woodworking techniques, the digital for analog, and books that are printed on actual paper. I live in Rochester with my wife Felicity, our two daughters "Bear" & "Moose," and our retriever Cricket the Wonder Dog. We are fully committed to seeing Rochester continue to grow into a safe, vibrant, and inclusive community, and demonstrate that commitment as volunteers wherever we can.
