Community Involvement
Giving back to the community is an important part of who I am. I actively volunteer with Turning Point, a transitional women's shelter, where I help rehab and clean apartments to create safe, comfortable spaces for women and families starting over. I'm also involved with local community kitchens, supporting efforts to prepare meals and serve individuals and families in need across Bartholomew County. These experiences keep me grounded and remind me why strong communities matter -- and it's the same commitment I bring to every client I serve.
HOBBIES/INTEREST
Outside of real estate, I stay active in the local music scene as a member of two bands -- Northbound Hounds and Redline Revival -- where I play throughout the area. My wife and I also love to travel, camp, and hike, exploring new trails and destinations whenever we can. When I'm not playing music or outdoors, you can usually find me out riding my motorcycle, enjoying the backroads and scenery Indiana has to offer.
FAMILY
My wife and I have been married since 2019, and we share our home with an energetic Australian Shepherd and two cats who keep life interesting. While we don't have kids, we enjoy building a life centered around travel, music, and spending time together here in Indiana.

FAQ
For buyers, the best advice is to get pre-approved early, know your budget, and be clear on your “must-haves” versus your “nice-to-haves.” The Columbus area moves quickly in certain neighborhoods, so being prepared helps you act with confidence when the right home comes along. Lean on your agent for local insight — neighborhoods, schools, resale potential, and price trends vary across Columbus, Nineveh, Nashville, Hope, and surrounding areas. A strong plan, paired with solid representation, sets you up for a smooth and successful purchase.
For sellers, pricing your home correctly from the start is crucial. The Columbus market rewards properties that hit the market with the right price, strong presentation, and a clear marketing strategy. Focus on cleaning, decluttering, and simple updates to help your home show its best. Work with an agent who understands the local neighborhoods and knows how to negotiate effectively. A strong pricing strategy and clear communication can make a big difference in both your timeline and your final sale price.
I’ve worked with a wide range of clients including first-time homebuyers, growing families, downsizing homeowners, relocation clients, and investors. I also serve homeowners selling lake-area and rural properties throughout Bartholomew, Brown, and Decatur counties. My background in high-value asset sales and business strategy allows me to guide clients at all price points with professionalism and clarity.
A recent transaction that stands out involved helping a relocating family find a home in the 47201 Columbus area. They were moving from out of state, unfamiliar with the neighborhoods, schools, and market pace. I provided virtual tours, neighborhood comparisons, local insights, and guided them through each step remotely. By the time they flew in, they had a clear plan — and we secured the right home quickly and at a price they felt great about. It was a smooth, well-coordinated experience, and exactly the kind of situation where local expertise makes a big impact.
After years in the corporate world, I wanted a career where I could make a more direct, local impact on people’s lives. Real estate offered the perfect opportunity. With my background in high-value asset sales and business strategy, transitioning into real estate allowed me to pair my professional experience with my desire to help individuals and families achieve their goals right here in our community.
Yes — I hold a Master’s Degree, which gives me a strong foundation in business strategy, negotiation, and analytical thinking. I apply that training to pricing, market analysis, contract terms, and guiding clients through important financial decisions. Combined with 20+ years of sales experience, this background helps my clients navigate the buying and selling process with confidence.
