My life has always been about helping others. I now transition 24-years in education into a real estate career. What I was not aware of, was that my entire life has led to this moment, to serve others in helping them realize their dream of land ownership. Managing the process of buying or selling, as an agent, on behalf of clients is a tremendous responsibility. Serving others in education has taught me to love and cherish the greatest asset of the parents I served, their kids. Working as a high school principal has been a rewarding experience. My hard work and dedication directly related to the successes of students and staff, and helped enrich communities. In my time as an educator, I owned and operated Maximum Outdoors TV for nearly a decade. An outdoor television show that aired on the Sportsman and Pursuit Channel helped further engrain my outdoor lifestyle and enabled me to grow the show into a platform that helped inspire others to the outdoors. Traveling across the Midwest, chasing Whitetail Deer in multiple states, on many properties, has built a knowledge base that I can pass on to my clients as I assist them in featuring their properties for sale or guiding them through the purchase of their dream property. In 2016, the pursuit to grow our television show, and to lead the lifestyle we had come to love…I relocated my wife Melissa and our two children Caleb and Isabella from Michigan to the world-famous whitetail hunting state of Iowa. No place rivals the majesty of Iowa for recreational whitetail property. Today, I once again call upon that courage to make another change. This time, to realize that all the positive experiences that I had in my life are calling for me to serve others in the capacity of buying and selling real estate. I am a graduate of Cornerstone University, with a BA in Biology, Secondary Education. I obtained a master’s degree from the University of Michigan in Education Administration, and an Advanced Studies Certification from the University of Northern Iowa in the Superintendency.
