Grew up on a farm near Blue Earth MN. My two favorite jobs were working road construction when I was going to college in the summers for R & G construction near Marshall MN. I was young, got paid a lot to play in the dirt. The other was traveling around and painting address numbers on curbs in front of people's homes. It was my own business and I enjoyed the freedom of making my own way in life. My best memory of that business was when I took my dad down to Georgia around Macon and Dalton and I showed him how easy it was to make $1,000 in one day. He told me that my idea was crazy but when he saw the money I was making be thought he was crazy for being a farmer. I had a few great jobs in my life. Real estate is very rewarding, especially when I see the smiles on my clients face after they have just bought a home they love. With that said, it is stressful at times because I always put my clients first and try to earn their trust so they know I care more about them then a pay check that I may or may not get. I was taught also to say what you mean and when you give someone your word, you commit to that no matter what. I have a great life and family. My Wife Heidi and our son Austin currently live in Farmington MN.
