AWARDS:
I have lived in North Idaho my entire life and consider myself very fortunate to call Coeur d’Alene home. I have been a Realtor since 2001 and have been blessed to have found a career in something I truly love.
My wife Marae and I were childhood friends and have been married since 2003. We have two wonderful children and we are a very active family, spending most of our free time outside enjoying everything this area has to offer. I am an avid sports fan that enjoys boating, snow skiing, golf, triathlons, traveling, and most of all, time with my family.
My goal as your Realtor is to exceed your expectations through service, professionalism and communication. I measure my success by the personal service I provide and by the lasting relationships I‘ve built with my clients who have now become friends. Let me put my extensive, first-hand knowledge of our local market to work for you.
