Drawing on 35 years of experience in the financial services industry, and an upbringing immersed in interior design, I made the leap into real estate as my second career. Growing up in Rapid City, SD, my parents owned a furniture and design studio, so from a young age I gleaned invaluable information about design and the possibilities that every room in a home holds. I also draw on my own experience of moving and building several homes; I know what it takes to start from the ground up, or the process of finding something pre-owned. Clients of mine can expect an unequaled customer experience, all the necessary education and information they may need, and transparency through every step of the process. When not helping clients navigate the real estate world, I can be found enjoying the outdoors: playing golf, spending evenings on my deck overlooking the golf course, or just on a drive with my wife, Mary Jo, in our little red Miata. Mary Jo, a public health nurse, and I have been married for 37 years and enjoyed raising 4 children: Kelsey, Allison, Grant, and Anna. It is so exciting to watch them create their own successful lives, but both Mary Jo and I agree that being an empty nester is a wonderful stage of life!
