I was born and raised in western Washington State and have been obsessed with houses since I was a young boy. I would help my father remodel and maintain his rental portfolio while watching him buy and sell different properties. I was fascinated by seeing the families move into their new homes that my father was providing. The happiness I witnessed during the showings and on move-in days left such a lasting impression that, after retiring from the Army with 20 years of service, I decided to serve my community in a whole new way.

At the age of 16, I attended Job Corps and earned a double completion in the Union Painters trade program. I then moved to Salt Lake City, UT, and painted bridges for International Coatings, which was contracted to complete the I-15 infrastructure upgrades needed to host the 2002 Olympic Games. After leaving International Coatings, I spent the next two years painting industrial and residential properties until 2003 when I joined the Army. I look forward to serving you!
