Welcome, and thank you for taking the time to learn more about us. Choosing the right real estate team is one of the most important decisions you’ll make when buying or selling a home. For over 36 years, I’ve been committed to making every relocation a smooth, educational, and stress-free experience. And for the past four years, I’ve had the joy of working alongside my wife, Amber—a true blessing. Amber brings decades of expertise in customer service, marketing, and design, and together we treat every transaction as if it were our own. To further serve our clients, I am also a Loan Originator to help our clients shop for a mortgage or refinance their loan as rates adjust if they desire. Truly a 1-stop shop!
Our Story I moved to Eden Prairie in 1976 and spent my youth immersed in community sports, eventually playing for the Eagles before graduating in 1986. I stayed close to home, earning my degree from the University of Minnesota Duluth in 1990. Real estate quickly became my passion—I began investing in townhomes in Eden Prairie. In 1999, Amber and I married and settled into our home in Minnetonka, where we’ve raised our two children and embraced everything this wonderful community has to offer.
Serving Those Who Serve Fourteen years ago, I joined the Homes for Heroes program, and it’s been one of the most rewarding parts of my career. I’ve had the privilege of serving over 219 Heroes and returning more than $450,125 in rebates to those who serve our communities (active & retired)—Military members, Police Officers, Firefighters, EMTs, Educators (public, private, and homeschool), Healthcare professionals, and those in Ministry. Every Hero receives a rebate of 0.7% of the sale price, $500 off loan origination fees from a Hero lender, and additional savings from Hero-affiliated closers and inspectors. HomesforHeroes operates nationwide and has given back over $152 million to date. If you know someone who could benefit from this program, please share it with them.
Your REALTORs for Life Our goal is to be your trusted resource for all things real estate & mortgages—whether you have questions about loans, buying, selling, refinancing, or home improvement. We want to be the people you call when you or someone you care about is ready to make a move. It would be our honor to help you navigate that journey.
Faith and Foundation Our faith in Jesus Christ is the cornerstone of our lives. We believe we are saved by grace, not by works (Ephesians 2:8–10), and that truth, grace, and gift fuel our gratitude and energy every day. Amber and I are active members of Grace Church in Eden Prairie, where we participate in small groups, the Re/Engage marriage ministry, the welcome team, discipleship training, and more. God’s word is our guide for strength, purpose, and service—and we are always learning and growing every day. We are happy to share more if you’re curious.
Our Commitment Our mission is simple: to earn the opportunity to serve you, your family, your friends, and your coworkers. We know that starts with making your real estate experience exceptional. It’s been a true blessing to receive referrals year after year, and we’re deeply grateful for the trust our clients continue to place in us.
