My Story

I got into real estate as a wealth builder, and now I enjoy sharing my advice with clients so they can achieve the same. My mission is simple: help my clients make the most informed and confident decision for their real estate investment.

After earning a commission as an Infantry Officer in the United States Army, I served during Operation Iraqi Freedom where I was awarded the Bronze Star with Valor and the Purple Heart. That experience taught me everything I know about leadership, sacrifice, and putting others before yourself.

After my military service, I chose a career in real estate because of my passion for building wealth through property and my desire to continue serving others. Since earning my Minnesota real estate license in 2008, I've helped more than 600 buyers and sellers achieve their real estate goals throughout Rochester, Byron, Cannon Falls, Stewartville, and across Southeast Minnesota. Whether you're searching for luxury homes in Rochester MN or your first starter home, I bring the same dedication to every client.

Known for being accessible, honest, trustworthy, and committed to educating my clients every step of the way — I believe informed clients make confident decisions. The values I carried through military service — honesty, integrity, loyalty, and selfless service — remain the foundation of how I represent every buyer and seller.

The Realty Edge Team

Alongside my business partner, Kyle Swanson, I've helped build one of Southeast Minnesota's consistently top-producing real estate teams. We've been in the top 25 in Rochester for 15 years running, and that consistency comes from one thing: past client relationships built on trust.

We specialize in Veterans, Mayo Clinic employees, relocation buyers and sellers, first-time homebuyers, luxury properties, new construction, and everything in between. Whether you're buying a $400,000 starter home in Olmsted County or a $5 million custom estate in Dodge County, Goodhue County, or Wabasha County, the same level of dedication and expertise goes into every transaction. See my full list of real estate services for more.

Community Involvement

I've served six years on the Southeast Minnesota REALTORS® Board of Directors and am passionate about strengthening the local real estate profession and the communities I serve. I'm actively involved in local charities, events, networking groups, and the veteran community.

When I'm not helping clients, you'll likely find me hunting, fishing, backpacking, traveling, volunteering, staying active, or spending time with my wife, Julee, and our son and daughter and three dogs.
