In both 2018, 2019 and 2020 I was recognized as being among the top 20% of agents—for sales and volume performance—within a highly reputable, locally-owned real estate firm of 115 REALTORS servicing Northern Nevada and Lake Tahoe.  And to better advocate for my clients, In recent years I’ve earned the Real Estate Negotiation Expert (RENE) certification and the Seller Representative Specialist (SRS) designation.  But like so many REALTORS, I've not always been in the real estate profession.

My formative years were spent in Wisconsin where I earned a Bachelor’s Degree in Business Administration from the University of Wisconsin, Whitewater.  Years later I obtained a Master’s Degree in Management from Webster University, St. Louis, Missouri.

I’m proud to have served this country as a career officer in the United States Air Force.  I led great people in the pursuit of common goals at military communities such as Rapid City, South Dakota, where our kids were born; San Antonio, Texas; Cheyenne, Wyoming; Dayton, Ohio, where my wife was a volunteer tour guide at the renowned National Museum of the United States Air Force; and Colorado Springs, Colorado, where I commanded a squadron of 240 airmen, DoD civilians and contractors.  Overseas opportunities included a 3-year tour in Tokyo, Japan, where I served as Director of Personnel, United States Forces, Japan, which is a Joint Chiefs of staff-equivalent organization interacting with senior Japanese officials; and a deployment to the Middle East.  As a Lieutenant Colonel, I closed my Air Force career at the Pentagon in 2005.

Wildlife conservation was my next calling.  As one of the senior leaders with the Nevada Department of Wildlife for over a decade, again I had the privilege to lead and work with a cadre of dedicated professionals, focused on the restoration and management of fish and wildlife resources, and the promotion of boating safety on Nevada’s waters.

My wife and I have called Nevada home since 1981.  Having established roots in Incline Village, located on the north shore of Lake Tahoe, we were excited in 2010 to relocate to our new home in St. James’s Village.  Located on the northwest corner of Washoe Valley and in the shadows of Mt. Rose Ski area, this mountain-side neighborhood is accessible from the Mt. Rose Highway and from I-580 in Washoe Valley.  St James is just minutes from Tahoe, Reno and Carson City.  We like to think that the Sierra Nevada mountains have not one, but two acclaimed gemstones: Lake Tahoe—the Jewel of the Sierras…and St James’s Village—The Ruby of Reno!

My wife and I enjoy travel, the small city atmosphere of Reno and Sparks, and our friends and neighbors. With my free time, I also love the Nevada back country and all things outdoors, shooting sports and woodworking.
