After graduating from the University of Mary with a degree in accounting, my wife, Melinda, and I took a leap of faith and opened a property management company. Wearing many hats as a property manager, I quickly discovered my true passion—helping people find a place to call home. That realization led me to transition into a full-time real estate career in 1992, and in July 1997, I joined CENTURY 21 Morrison Realty, where I’ve been ever since. Family has always been at the heart of everything I do, and nothing brings me more joy than helping clients find their perfect home for their family. For sellers, I take pride in guiding them through the selling process, ensuring a smooth transaction while maximizing their return. For buyers, walking alongside them every step of the way, offering guidance, and witnessing the excitement on their faces when they find "the one" is incredibly rewarding. In addition to my residential real estate experience, I've expanded into commercial real estate, working with more commercial clients and earning accreditations like the Century 21 Commercial Network designation. I’ve also leveraged my industry knowledge to develop shop condominiums in Bismarck, known as Runway 29. This has been an exciting opportunity to merge my passion for real estate with business development, contributing to our community’s growth. I’ve also been actively involved in the evolution of real estate in our area. In 1999, I served on the Bismarck-Mandan Board of Realtors committee that transitioned property listings from a monthly printed book to an MLS database online—revolutionizing how homes were bought and sold. In 2024, I was honored to return to the Board as Vice President.
