A little about me…

I enjoy working with people and there is nothing more rewarding than helping them achieve their goal of buying or selling a home.

I grew-up in northeast Iowa with 16 brothers and sisters with aspirations of becoming a music teacher. I played the trumpet and was involved in the music program at the University of Iowa. After graduation, I secured a teaching position at a school in Deerfield, Illinois where I was the band director for six years. Though I loved music, I found myself drawn to sales.

My outgoing nature and excellent people skills propelled me to one of the top sales representatives for a promotional fundraising company for schools. I worked at this career for 10 years and then in 1994 decided to make a career change to the world of real estate.

Within the last 28 years, I have helped thousands of families achieve their dreams of owning a home. Since 1996, I  have been a consistent member of the RE/MAX Platinum Club, Chairman’s Club, obtained the RE/MAX Lifetime Achievement Award, have been a member of the RE/MAX Hall of Fame, and an elite member of the Top 20 RE/MAX real estate agents in Northern Illinois since 2003, and in 2019 I obtained my Managing Broker License.
