Career storyboard

40 years in the making

1989

Licensed & launched

Earned his Colorado real estate license and entered the market at a time when every deal was done on paper and relationships were everything. That foundation never changed.

Mid‑90s

Became a Managing Broker

Earned his managing broker designation, a credential that required passing a higher licensing exam and taking on fiduciary responsibility for an entire brokerage. He has held it for 29 years.

2000s

Rooted in Douglas County

Built a deep, repeat-client base across Castle Rock, Parker, and Highlands Ranch as the South Metro boomed. Guided hundreds of families through buying, selling, and upsizing as the region grew.

2010s

Expanded into acreage & lifestyle

Grew a specialty in rural and semi-rural properties across Elbert County: horse properties, acreage parcels, and ranch-adjacent homes for buyers seeking Colorado's wide-open spaces.
