Looking back on it, it doesn’t seem like it was a large risk, but I am happy I dropped out of college to pursue a career in real estate. After graduating high school, I was attending a small university North of Chicago for a degree in business management and I was also a part of the football team. While I learned a lot from the wonderful professors there and enjoyed being on the same football team as 3 of my brothers, I had an opportunity to learn the family business back in Colorado Springs. I hated the idea of “quitting” something I had started, so it was difficult to make the decision to drop out, but I unenrolled, moved back home, and dove right into selling homes. I’m in my 10th year now and I couldn’t be happier with that decision.

Family. I am so fortunate to have both sides of my family in town. Everything is better with family - holidays, trips to the mountains, golfing, you name it. I love that my daughter gets to grow up with both sets of grandparents and all her cousins in the same town. Colorado Springs has always been home and I’m glad I get to experience it with such a solid community of close friends and family.

A busy work day for me doesn’t look all that different from most real estate agents. It seems the majority of what I do in the day is respond to texts and emails. My favorite part of any given workday is seeing clients and showing them homes. I'm definitely an extrovert. When I have free time, I look forward to slow days with my wife & daughter. We enjoy going to Switchback Coffee in the mornings and golfing in the afternoon at Patty Jewett; it’s just the best.

I admire my dad. He is a champ. He and my mother raised 9 hellions and are still the softest-hearted people I know. Professionally, he’s been a real estate agent forever and is still active today. My dad is exceptionally gifted at providing what he describes as, “real help”. He will serve his clients in the most practical and extraordinary ways. I remember one time he helped a client of his that was in a tight spot financially by offering to hand-dig a pit in their crawlspace to fit a new water heater that needed to be installed. She couldn’t afford the replacement and the cost of clearing a new space for the new unit. So he hopped in the crawlspace and got to digging. My dad has many stories like this. He is so willing to offer a hand to those in need whether they are a client or not, even if it means getting his hands dirty. I’m amazed by his work ethic and care for people. He’s my role model. 

I am going on a trip with my family to France and Ireland, absolutely stoked.
