Born and raised in Jo Daviess County, IL, I have a deep appreciation for the land, the people, and the lifestyle that make this area special. After graduating high school, I served 12 years in the military, including a combat deployment in Afghanistan. My time in service instilled in me the values of discipline, integrity, and commitment—all of which I bring to every real estate transaction I handle.

After the military, I earned a bachelor’s degree in economics and spent several years in Texas, where I began my real estate career. While living in Austin, I worked for an investor focused on acreage, gaining valuable experience in land deals, market analysis, and the unique ins and outs of rural and recreational property sales.

Now that I’m back home in Jo Daviess County, I work with buyers and sellers on all types of real estate transactions—whether it’s a first-time homebuyer, a family selling their home, or someone investing in land or rural property. While I specialize in land and VA home transactions, I’m just as committed to helping clients with traditional residential sales and purchases. No matter the property type, my goal is to make the process seamless, transparent, and successful.

In my spare time, you’ll likely find me hunting, fishing, golfing, or enjoying the lake with friends and family. My wife and I are proud to be raising our growing family here, and I understand firsthand the value of owning property not just as an investment, but as a foundation for lasting memories and legacy.

If you're thinking about buying or selling—whether it’s a home, land, or anything in between—I’d love to help. Let’s connect!
