I owned my family’s 48 year old business, but after 16 years owning myself, I decided to sell. Since then, I have started my successful real estate business and enjoy it immensely.

Four years ago I was diagnosed with prostate cancer, but I am excited to say that I am 99% cancer free.

I decided then, I wanted to do something that I love, helping student athletes and families have been very important to me. Along came NCSA I became a Recruiting Coordinator in 2023. I has been a joy and exciting venture, to help student/athletes and parents navigate the college recruiting process

When I am not helping clients, I enjoy working out, biking and boating. One of my passions is coaching, I have been a high school football coach for 30 years. I presently coach at Eastridge High School. I have been the Director of Football for WAA and the Director of Operations for the University of Minnesota Men’s Lacrosse Team. President of the MNPBBA, I volunteer with a myriad of organizations, from Make A Wish, Feed My Hungry Children, Change Starts with Me, Toys for Tots and the Ronald McDonald House.

Giving back is the cornerstone of who I am.

Connecting with people is the joy of my life.
