I have been a Washington County / Hartford area resident for over 35 years having moved to Hartford in 1975. I and my wife Paulette have raised our family here and are very committed to the area. Over the years I have been involved with various local projects and organizations and believe in giving back to the community. This started with Cub scouts, Boy scouts, and various school groups when my children were growing up and now includes active membership in several local clubs and organizations.

I am an avid motorcyclist and enjoy riding whenever I can. My wife and I average about 7,500 miles a year riding and traveling on our Harleys. We are both among the founding members of the local Chapter of the Harley-Davidson Owners Group and were both active in the group until the dealership was forced to close due to the economy. I served two terms as the group’s activities director, planning and organizing the clubs events & activities. I went about the HOG activities with the same 110% Commitment I give to most things I am involved in.

I am also an active hunter and trap shooter belonging to three local sportsman´s clubs. The 110% Commitment is also evident here with my dedication to the advancement of safe shooting and hunting sports through volunteer involvement in Hunter safety. I have been a lead instructor working with the Wisconsin DNR. Hunter Education programs in Hartford and Neosho for over 20 years and have graduated over 2500 students.

I have been involved in the local housing market since I came to Hartford. Back then it was my sideline. I bought older homes in town and fixed them up sold or traded them and kept some as rentals. Since then I have been exposed to many other phases of real estate including, residential and commercial development, construction of industrial buildings, residential construction, land splits and, General contracting. In 1996 I designed and built my own house set into a glacial hillside in the town of Erin. Not only did I do all my own design and general contracting, I and my family supplied a major part of the labor to build the house.

In 2001 with over 30 years engineering experience in manufacturing I decided it was time for a change, and entered into a full time career in Real Estate. My combined property knowledge and business experience has paid off well. I have fast gained the reputation among my peers and customers as a professional Realtor with great people skills and the ability to handle the most difficult transactions. This is evident in the fact that in my first year in business, I sold over $3.1 million worth of property in Dodge and Washington counties, and had steady volume increases their after until the market dropped out. Unlike many of my contemporaries I have survived in this market and am once again looking to increase my business volume.

I am a down to earth person. All summer long you are likely to catch me on my Blue & Silver Harley Ultra almost anywhere in Dodge Washington or the surrounding Counties working with clients or showing properties. I understand people and I am equally as comfortable working with you while I am dressed in a T-shirt and bike boots as I am dressed in a suit and tie. Yet you will always feel that I handle your business in a true professional manner.
