I grew up on a dairy farm in southern Wisconsin where hard work wasn’t just 8 hours a day, it was a way of life! Every day was a little different, and you never knew what to expect from one day to the next. I was also a police officer for over 10 years. I worked hard and dedicated myself to serving and protecting the people in my district. I gained valuable skills in negotiating so I could reach the most ideal outcome and I learned to work well with a variety of people in order to get the job done. I had to show great attention to detail in everything I did and would often have to think and act quickly during challenging times. And of course, honesty and integrity were of utmost importance. These very skills and work ethic are critical and often a daily requirement in becoming a great real estate agent. It is also the very commitment I will make for each and every one of my clients.

My wife is the inspiration that lead me to choose a career in real estate. We would often talk about different business ideas that would relate back to being involved in real estate. After a few years, we purchased a beautiful farm near Delavan, which we purchased with a business mindset. We very quickly created a successful wedding venue business in our barn called The Farmstead. As the desire to become a real estate agent grew, it was my wife who again encouraged me to start in this amazing and fast-paced business, a business that I am very happy to be a part of!

My favorite part about real estate is the feeling you get when all the years of hard work and saving up all come together for the moment you sign your name and are given the keys to your new home. Becoming a homeowner was a feeling of tremendous pride that I will never forget. Being able to help people experience that joy themselves is one of the most rewarding parts of being a real estate agent. I will also never forget how important it was to have a knowledgeable real estate agent along the way. Having personally been involved with buying and selling multiple properties, I cannot stress enough how important it is to pick the right agent for your needs!

When I am not working, I enjoy spending time with my wife, three kids, and our dog. I also enjoy working around our farm, hunting, golfing, traveling, rooting on the Brewers and Packers, woodworking, and learning new hobbies such as making maple syrup at our home.
