I take pride in truly listening to your housing needs whether it be buying or selling. Taking great care of you through the process is my goal.

I was raised in Spencer so I'm very familiar with the entire area. We have three children Cory, Katelyn and Brittany. I have life experience in and enjoy construction, aircraft/flying (I am an FAA licensed Pilot as well as one of very few FAA licensed commercial UAV operators in the State of Iowa), Professional Photography, Kayaking and all outdoor activities. I am also licensed as a Registered Nurse. This occupation was rated at the very top of a 2015 Gallup Poll © for Honesty and Ethical Standards. Can I have the opportunity to put these traits to work for you?
