How I got here.
Why it matters to you.
"Growing up in Elizabeth, Colorado (population not many), I watched my family run a small business for decades. That's where I learned what real work looks like."
I grew up south of Denver in a small town where my family ran an auto repair shop. Both my grandfather and my dad owned one. Work ethic wasn't something that got explained to me. It was just the air in the room. I watched people show up every day, do difficult work with precision, and build something real.
I went to Colorado State University to study business, not just the theory of it, but the specific parts that matter: investment analysis, corporate finance, real estate finance. I graduated with a certificate in international business and a clear view of how money actually moves through property.
In 2017, I got my real estate license. What started as curiosity became a career. I spent eight years building a high-volume practice across Northern Colorado and the Denver Metro Area, from Castle Rock up to Fort Collins, learning every dimension of the transaction. How to negotiate under pressure. How to price a home that doesn't fit the comps. How to keep a deal together when it wants to fall apart. Over 150 closed transactions across shifting markets, difficult negotiations, and the kind of situations that teach you how to stay calm when deals get complicated.
In 2020, I moved to Downtown Denver. And once I got here, I didn't just work the market. I invested in it. I now own three properties in the city. Two of them are rentals. I'm not advising you from the sidelines. I'm a stakeholder in the same market you're selling into.
