I was born and raised on the NW side of Chicago. I spent the early years in my career in the data processing / computer field. Although growing up in the Midwest was a fine experience, I knew at an early age that I would leave Illinois. After visiting Arizona for the first time, I was immediately taken in by the wide open spaces, warm weather and the gorgeous rugged landscape that the Desert had to offer.

Janet and I moved to Phoenix in 1984 and I purchased a small business and Janet began her career in Real Estate . It wasn’t long after that I decided to sell our business, obtain my real estate license to join and help her with her thriving Real Estate business. Working together, we have been Top Team for Realty Executives for many of the years we have been with the company. There were several years, Janet and I were the number one team not only in Phoenix with Realty Executives, but internationally.

In 2022, we will be celebrating 40 years of marriage and I will have been with Realty Executives for 31 years. We have two boys, both married, and three grand-children.

Growing up in Cave Creek, I fell in love with the Arizona landscape and all it has to offer. I understand one’s desire to live in an area with such beautiful surroundings. However, my familiarity & experience expands beyond where I grew up. Growing up playing hockey allowed me to spend a significant amount of time around various parts of the Valley which provided a deeper understanding of different communities & cities. I lived in Tempe while earning a degree in Kinesiology at ASU, further expanding my awareness south of Phoenix. My experience has given me an understanding of all there is to offer around Phoenix and does not limit me to one specific area. I have also been able to witness how much the greater Phoenix area has grown which has been extremely useful when talking with clients about the potential future of an area & expectations for continued growth. I enjoy learning about & try my best to stay on top of the continued expansion & revitalization of varying locations around town.

Since becoming licensed, I have familiarities from both ends of the spectrum from working with sellers, first time buyers, veteran buyers, and investors for rental properties & flips. Understanding the value in Real Estate Investing, my own portfolio is underway I have also been able to grow my knowledge of the industry as I acquired my license in the state of Tennessee while living in Nashville from 2016-2019.

My wife Jen, our son Cooper, and our three dogs are now back living in Cave Creek and we couldn’t be happier.

My main goal is to provide you with an experience that will satisfy your real estate needs. My attention to detail, motivation, and patience will allow you to work through the process while maintaining your level of comfort.
