I am a strong believer that experience, integrity, & communication are KEY in a great real estate relationship with my clients. I chose to make Cle Elum my home back in 2012. I feel so blessed to live, recreate & raise our family here in beautiful Kittitas County. I serve as a career firefighter for Central Mason Fire & EMS, and so I completely understand the commuter aspect- the appeal of living here & working on the Westside.

I began my firefighting career at the age of 19 as a volunteer and quickly determined my true passion was a professional career in fire & emergency services. Over the years, I have served in multiple aspects of my field- from volunteering, to a dispatcher, to EMT, Paramedic, Technical Rescue Teams, Officer, & Senior Recruit Instructor. I believe these experiences lead me to great skills as a REALTOR- working with people, communication skills, thorough research, preparedness and handling stressful situations with honed problem solving skills.

I work in conjunction with my wife, a local REALTOR with over 20 years of experience. In addition to working locally with her, I am also able to help our friends & fire family with projects between here & Mason County, including Thurston & Pierce County, & even as far as Pacific on occasion. 

I love spending time outdoors here in the Pacific NW. My hobbies include snowmobiling every chance I can, boating and water sports all around Puget Sound, and attending our kids' events ranging from volleyball to horses!
