I grew up in Portage, Wisconsin along the banks of the Wisconsin and Fox rivers. This is where I developed my love for everything outdoors. My hobbies include fishing (of which borders on obsession), hunting, snowshoeing, and just plain walking through the forest.

I spent the first half of my life appreciating what hard work is all about. Working in the Concrete Construction industry for over 30 years, the last 20 of which, running the family Concrete Construction business.

My formal education was at the UW Stevens Point. I earned a Bachelor of Arts degree in Business Management and a minor in Psychology.

A good number of years ago I moved my family; wife Jane and son Jack, to Conover, to live what I love…To explore the miles of forest and fish the seemingly endless lakes and rivers of Northern Wisconsin and the U.P. I am a very proud father of a son who follows in my love of the outdoors as well as football and is an equally hard worker in both studies and sports.

I have been a Real estate agent for a number of years now. I am licensed in both Michigan and Wisconsin. I have a work ethic that is second to none. The real estate profession gives me great enjoyment. Where else do you get a chance to meet folks and view some of the most beautiful properties one can imagine? I look forward to helping you sell your property or find your dream home in the North Woods. I will deal with everyone with integrity and a smile. My greatest satisfaction is a happy client who is willing to refer me to a friend.
