About Me

The real estate business is not about selling houses, it is about people. Working with, listening to, engaging with and determining how to help them meet their real estate goals is what I do. I have lived in Grand Junction since 2004 when I moved here after a short retirement period in my native state of Ohio. I had moved “home” after spending 20 years owning a couple of independent manufacturers’ representative firms in northern California. I love Colorado and often wonder why I didn’t move here 30 years earlier so I could enjoy rock climbing as well as the mountain biking and skiing which I have taken up since the move here. While I feel my time as a REALTOR® since 2012 more than qualifies me, I will expound and let you know that I've been involved with Real Estate and developing property since the 1970's. I actually negotiated my first multi-million dollar contract in the latter part of the 70's and then went on to own 2 sales companies while in California both of which I later sold and retired at age 51. Enjoyed 11 years in retirement but decided the need to come back into the workforce and thus began my association with RE/MAX 4000 - the top such company in the world btw and hugely so in the Grand Junction market. Specific to the real estate world, locally I have served on the MLS Committee since 2014 and have done continuing education to receive the ABR® (Accredited Buyer’s Representative) and GREEN (advanced training in green building and sustainable business practices) designations by the NAR (National Association of REALTORS®). It should be obvious that I am a sustaining member of the NAR and a REALTOR®. I gained my CRS (Certified Residential Specialist) designation in 2017 of which only 3% of REALTORS® nationwide have attained.
