I'm a proud Southern Minnesota native with a unique journey—adopted by an incredible single mother who shaped the values I carry today. Growing up as an only child instilled in me a strong work ethic and determination. I landed my first job at 14, igniting a passion that still drives me. That same dedication led me to the mortgage industry, where I've found purpose in helping people achieve homeownership. No matter what kind of day you have, home is where it ends—and I love guiding clients through one of the most significant financial decisions of their lives.


People are my passion. If you know me, you know I love connecting, sharing stories, and building relationships. My focus is on serving my community—helping friends, family, and neighbors experience the joy of owning a home. Whether you're a first-time homebuyer or a seasoned investor, I believe education is key to making confident, informed financial decisions.


I've built my own paradise in South Minneapolis, where I share life with Leo, my chocolate lab. When I'm not working, you'll likely find me cruising the Twin Cities in my Corvette, biking the many scenic paths around town, or training hard at the gym.


Homeownership is more than just an investment—it's life-changing. As I enter my 15th year in the mortgage industry, I'm always learning, adapting, and growing to serve my clients better. So, who's ready to take the next step toward homeownership? Let's make it happen together.
