01.1 Growing Up

Growing up in Colorado gave me an appreciation for change, opportunity, and the importance of relationships. Some of my favorite childhood memories were the summers spent visiting my large extended family in North Dakota and Minnesota — those trips taught me the importance of family, connection, and making time for the people who matter most.

Sports played a huge role in shaping who I became. I loved competing and staying active, especially through soccer and basketball. Soccer in particular created some of the most meaningful relationships in my life — first as a player, later as a coach. The lessons about teamwork, discipline, leadership, and encouraging others still influence how I approach life and business today.

Living in Colorado also gave me a love for skiing, the constantly changing seasons, and the energy of a rapidly growing Denver community. Watching the transformation of Denver over the years sparked my interest in real estate and investing at an early age. At home, I was fortunate to watch both of my parents work incredibly hard and lead by example — teaching me to treat people with respect, appreciate what you have, and earn things through consistency and effort.

One of the things I enjoy most today is seeing others grow, set goals, and achieve things they once thought were out of reach. Whether through coaching, business, or personal relationships, I’ve always found fulfillment in helping others succeed.

01.2 Core Values

What I try to live by.

Respect

Every relationship should be built on kindness, honesty, empathy, and mutual respect.

Family First

Family has always been one of the most important influences in my life and continues to shape my priorities and perspective.

Genuine Relationships

I value authentic connections and long-term relationships built on trust, loyalty, and meaningful communication.

Integrity & Character

Doing the right thing matters. Character shows in consistency, accountability, and how you treat people when there’s nothing to gain.

Hard Work

Watching my parents work hard taught me discipline, gratitude, and appreciation for the opportunities and people in our lives.

01.3 Education

Colorado State University

Real Estate & Finance · Management

My path through Colorado State gave me the foundation to think clearly about money, markets, and the relationships that drive both. Combined with what I learned growing up — from parents, coaches, and teammates — it shaped a perspective rooted as much in character as in numbers.
