I love real estate and also like having fun. My clients not only get my years of professional guidance but also a fun real estate experience throughout the process. I am a proud Star Wars nerd thus I add a sense of my personality and fun in my business. You'll still get my negotiation skills, trendsetting technology, proprietary systems, and high level of customer service...along with laughs and happy memories. I look forward to working alongside you and have you as a raving fan.


I was born and raised on a large grain farm in Northwest Minnesota (the town is Middle River in case you’ve ever heard of it) which taught me hard work and respect. I have two brothers that also live in the Twin Cities and one sister who lives up north with her husband. I went to the University of North Dakota in Grand Forks where I received a Master’s Degree in Occupational Therapy. The reason why I went into the occupational therapy (OT) field as my father was diagnosed with Amyloidosis in 2000 and OT helped him remain at home until his death in 2001. After graduation, I took my first job in the OT field at the Mayo Clinic in Rochester where I worked on the “brain team” that specialized in treating patients with strokes and traumatic brain injuries. Eventually, I moved to the Twin Cities and worked for Fairview Health Services and Brookdale Senior Living in both inpatient and outpatient therapy.

I am married to Nicole and we have 2 wonderful rescue dogs named Karen (yes, Karen) and Becky. We enjoy hitting up the local breweries, restaurants and spending time with friends. Since Minnesota summers are so short, Nicole and I try to soak up as much summertime weather as possible with grilling out, going to the lake, and taking bike rides! Since I was raised on Lake of the Woods, I am an avid fisherman (summer and winter). I also enjoy movies, cheering on Minnesota sports team, curling (yes…curling), and reading. And if you didn’t know by now, I am a huge Star Wars fan thus one of the reasons why I named our team, the Imperial Home Team, after Darth Vader’s Imperial forces. I am confident enough to tell people that I own a movie quality Darth Vader costume that I have had the opportunity to wear it for kid’s birthday parties and for a few movie theaters for the Star Wars premieres.
