Having grown up in New England and embraced the vibrant culture of Colorado for over a decade, I've developed a deep appreciation for different regions and their unique real estate landscapes. Since settling in Wisconsin in 2008, I've become intimately familiar with the local market, its trends, and its opportunities.
With over 15 years in the real estate industry and a decade of dedicated service as a licensed agent, I've honed my expertise in navigating diverse markets and guiding clients through successful transactions.
Throughout my career, I've been passionate about incorporating sustainability into my work. I've consistently sought out opportunities to reduce environmental impact, promote energy efficiency, and support ethical business practices. Whether it's through starting a sustainably minded moving business or helping home buyers make green choices, I've dedicated myself to making a positive difference for both our clients and our planet.
My passion for sustainability reaches beyond transactions; it's about building lasting relationships and helping people achieve their goals. I'm dedicated to providing exceptional service, personalized attention, and unwavering support throughout the entire buying or selling process.

As one of the founders of Carbon Footing, I bring over 20 years of experience in real estate, backed by an MBA and a lifelong commitment to environmental sustainability. Growing up on the Great Lakes instilled in me a deep appreciation for nature, and my passion for sailing and environmentalism continues to inspire my work today. Having owned and operated real estate-focused companies for decades, I understand the industry's impact on the environment and am dedicated to creating innovative solutions to address this challenge.
My wife and I, both born and raised in Southeastern Wisconsin, have chosen to raise our family here, where we enjoy the beauty of the region and the strong sense of community. We love traveling and exploring what the world has to offer, but we always find our way back home to our three kids and our dog, Darby. Whether I'm coaching basketball, serving as a Cub Master, or spending time on the water, I'm passionate about being actively involved in our kids' lives and the community.
Through Carbon Footing, I aim to blend my expertise in real estate with my commitment to environmental responsibility, offering carbon offset solutions that help mitigate the environmental impact of property ownership and development. By integrating carbon credits into real estate transactions, we're not just reducing our carbon footprint—we're driving meaningful progress in the fight against climate change.
