My Story
The Bend I grew up in had one stoplight on Greenwood and downtown ended at Wall Street. I learned to ski at Bachelor when lift tickets were $25, and watched the Old Mill District turn from a sawmill site into the Bend most relocators picture in their heads. I attended both Bend High and Summit as a student — which is rare, and gives me a foot in both school communities decades later.
I came into real estate in 2022 because I kept watching friends buy the wrong house in the wrong neighborhood from agents who didn't know Bend the way I did. I've closed 40+ deals in the three years since, and every one of those clients got the version of Bend I'd want my own family to land in — because I'm raising my own family here.
For relocators, I give the honest insider tour: which neighborhoods deliver on what they promise, which schools families fight to get into, which streets actually back to public land. For people moving here from the Bay Area, Seattle, Boise, or anywhere else — I'm the friend you'd want if you had one.
For locals, it's treating your sale or upgrade like the financial decision it is. I'll tell you when to wait, when you're overpricing, and when the offer in front of you is the one to take. No pressure, no pitch — just the call I'd make if it were my own money on the line.
Outside of work, I'm raising two boys (13 and 10 by the end of this summer), coaching youth sports through the Caldera programs — which keeps me connected to families across all four Bend high schools — and arguing with anyone who'll listen about whether the new wave of growth is good for Bend or not. I don't have a tidy answer to that one. It's the question I keep coming back to.
