I've had an interesting and very rewarding real estate career over the last 32 years. My Windermere Resume spans 26 years and is now continuing with Windermere Professional Partners Gig Harbor. Having worked for Windermere Services Company and managing Windermere Valley in Spokane, WA – I’ve been given amazing opportunities to learn about real estate and working with Brokers, Buyers and Sellers. From 1998 to 2009 we grew Windermere Valley from 35 Brokers to over 120 - quickly becoming one of Spokane's top offices. If you have questions about a career in real estate I'd be happy to grab a coffee and visit with you.

After graduating from Gonzaga University in Spokane in 1992 I put my degree in Public Relations to work immediately and joined Windermere Services Company Inland Northwest. I quickly learned that I had a passion for real estate and helping brokers learn and embrace new technology that enabled them to raise their level of service to their clients. Coming out of the downturn starting in 2009, I spent 6 years working with 2 national commercial real estate technology firms and one national commercial real estate firm in franchise development. I've been able to travel across the US meeting residential and commercial brokers who have shared valuable insight about our industry.

If you would like information on Gig Harbor and South Puget Sound real estate I would be happy to advise you. If you are interested in learning more about Windermere Real Estate and a real estate career you've come to the right place. Whether you are new to the business or experienced and looking to make a move, I have over 18 years experience in real estate brokerage management.  6 years of experience with Windermere Services and 6 years experience with real estate technology and franchise sales.
Please let me know how I can help you with your real estate needs and questions!

I've always been an avid golfer, tennis player and fresh water fisherman. I grew up in Hamilton, MT and loved every minute of it...makes me miss the Bitterroot Valley when I think of it. I lived in Spokane, WA for 20 years and after moving to Gig Harbor I discovered mountain biking and saltwater fishing. If you have not had a chance to hook a wild salmon you are missing out and the mountain biking in South Puget Sound is spectacular! My wife of 25 years and I are extremely proud of our two children - a University of Washington Graduate and Senior at the University of Washington.

My Approach

Buying or selling a home can be so rewarding, but the process can also be challenging, complicated, and emotional.  I focus on taking that pressure off you, so you can focus on the positive aspects of your transition.  I will work tirelessly to exceed your expectations using Windermere’s award-winning resources and will continue to serve your needs well after the paperwork is done.  Timely communication is critical and you should expect a response to your questions within minutes, every time.

About Me

After spending 19 years with REI, most recently as a National Buyer and Senior Analyst, I made the bold decision to be a full-time Realtor in 2018. To this day, it continues to be one of the best life decisions I've made. With over 60+ closed transactions and countless stories to tell, I'm mostly proud of immersing myself in the active community here in Gig Harbor.  Almost 100% of my business comes from previous clients and their referrals. I live by the Platinum Rule:  "Do unto others as they would want to be done to them."

When not working in the office, I can be found on skis, camping with my family and friends, or just exploring everything the PNW has to offer.  My wife and I also enjoy home improvement projects, utilizing her Masters in Landscape Architecture and keen eye.  Born a military brat and raised on the East Coast, I have been a PNW resident for the last 18 years and consider it my home.  I look forward to many more outdoor excursions and expanding my local community involvement here in Gig Harbor.  

So, whether you have never owned a home or have been dealing with Real Estate all your life, I want to listen to you. Let's figure out together how best to serve your needs. 

I look forward to chatting with you.
