My Story
I grew up in Mattawan, Michigan, where I developed a passion for our community and the people in it. After attending Western Michigan University, I knew I wanted to build a career that combined my love for people, strategy, and hard work.
For the past several years, I've been the Head Coach of the Kalamazoo Growlers, a Northwoods League team. Over that time, we've built a championship program — winning the NWL title in 2022 and 2024. Through coaching, I've developed 319+ career wins, mentored dozens of players who went on to be drafted by MLB teams, and learned the power of discipline, planning, and relentless execution.
Those same principles I use on the diamond translate perfectly to real estate. Whether I'm helping a first-time buyer navigate their biggest purchase or selling a family's legacy home, I approach every transaction with the same strategic mindset: know the market, understand the client's goals, and execute flawlessly.
As a REALTOR® with Five Star Real Estate Leaders, I combine my deep roots in Southwest Michigan with modern marketing, market analysis, and a genuine commitment to putting my clients first. I'm not just selling properties — I'm helping families and investors build their futures.
The Growlers Connection
As Head Coach of the Kalamazoo Growlers, I've led the team to two Northwoods League championships (2022 and 2024) and built a career record of 319+ wins. More than 77 Growler alumni have been selected in the MLB Draft — it's a pipeline I'm incredibly proud of.

Coaching taught me how to develop talent, manage complex personalities, and execute under pressure. These skills make me a better REALTOR® — I listen carefully, adapt to each client's unique situation, and always think several moves ahead.
Serving Those Who Served
Veterans deserve specialized attention when buying a home. I'm committed to helping military families take advantage of VA loans, zero-down financing, and specialized programs they've earned.
I understand the unique challenges of transitioning from military to civilian life, and I'm dedicated to making the home-buying process smooth and rewarding. Whether you're using your VA benefit for the first time or refinancing, I'll guide you every step of the way.
Beyond the Diamond
When I'm not coaching or helping clients with real estate, I'm spending time with my family. We've got a full house with three kids and two dogs that keep us busy and happy.
You'll find me fishing or hunting in the lakes and forests of Southwest Michigan when I get a chance. I'm a lifelong Red Wings fan, Notre Dame football enthusiast, and Chicago Cubs supporter. There's nothing quite like game day in the Midwest.
Real estate chose me as much as I chose it. Building relationships with clients, helping families find their dream homes, and contributing to the communities I love — that's what gets me out of bed every morning.
