Having moved throughout the country while growing up, it’s a true blessing to have settled in this beautiful area of Wisconsin since 1990 and have since enjoyed raising my family here. When I’m not selling real estate, you’ll find me enjoying the outdoors or working on a home remodel project!
I sincerely look forward to getting to know you and helping you realize YOUR real estate dreams!
As a REALTOR / GRI, and a Land Specialist, I am continually being updated on all facets of Wisconsin real estate transactions, from mapping and survey work to managed forest law, zoning regulations, easements, and more.
For fun and relaxation, I enjoy driving my UTV, photography, exploring new places and nature.
Visions of making a difference within a small and rural community brought me from Southern California to Viroqua in 1991. With a Master of Fine Arts Degree, I produced, exhibited, and sold my artwork, taught in public and private schools, universities and studios, and coordinated arts programs including events, exhibitions, festivals, artist workshops and training.
In 2001 I joined the Marketing Team at Organic Valley Cooperative, connecting with the local farming community and managing events until retiring in 2015.
As a volunteer, I have been passionately involved in public arts and community development projects and organizations, including The Associates to Restore the Temple Theatre, Ltd. (ARTT), Habitat for Humanity, Winding Roads Art Tour, Viroqua Chamber, and the Vernon Economic Development Association (VEDA).
Since 2016, I have enjoyed serving sellers and buyers as a licensed real estate agent, sharing my excitement and knowledge about this unique community and all it has to offer. Let’s make a connection!
Having settled into the Driftless area for over 28 years, I have come to realize that real estate is my passion in life. The feeling of accomplishment when helping someone find the perfect home is one of the many reasons I got into the real estate business. Being able to meet new people and help get you through the home buying/selling process is what keeps me truckin’! Communication is key and provided every step of the way. As a full-time Realtor®, I can help make the home buying or selling experience a bit less stressful for you with a touch of fun no matter what kind of challenges pop up along the way.
As a 37 year resident, I have strong ties to the people & places that make up the Driftless Region, and I would love your next home to be right here with us.
With a focus on preparation, communication, and follow through, I am confident that whether you are selling or purchasing a home, we will make a great team.
I love hiking and biking the many trails in our area. I also enjoy wood working and helping friends and neighbors with home remodeling & repairs.
Growing up in Wisconsin Dells, I developed a strong work ethic from a young age, take on various summer jobs in the tourism industry- everything from dishwashing to guiding tours. In 1991, I made Viroqua my home when I began my career with the Wisconsin State Patrol. After 33 rewarding years of serving the people of Wisconsin, I’ve retired from law enforcement and an excited to begin a new chapter in real estate. My dedication to service and passion for helping others now fuels my commitment to guiding clients through their real estate journeys with integrity and care.
My wife and I live in rural Vernon County enjoying a simple country life tending to a large garden and caring for a house and yard full of our animal friends.
Let me help strengthen your roots in this beautiful area. If you’re looking for someone to work hard for you and serve all your real estate needs, I’m only a phone call away.
I was raised on a dairy farm right here in Wisconsin, where early mornings and long days weren’t optional—they were a way of life. That upbringing instilled in me a strong work ethic, a sense of responsibility, and a commitment to showing up every single day ready to get the job done. It also taught me something just as important: the value of home. Not just the structure, but the land, the memories, and the feeling of belonging.
That’s what drew me to real estate in the Driftless Region. This area is unlike anywhere else—its rolling hills, quiet valleys, and close-knit communities create a lifestyle that’s hard to find and even harder to leave. I feel incredibly fortunate to help others find their place here.

Coming from a small-town background, I know how much relationships matter. Around here, trust isn’t given lightly—it’s earned. That’s why I approach every client relationship with transparency, clear communication, and a genuine commitment to doing what’s right for you. Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a property full of memories, or making a move toward something new, I understand the weight of that decision.
In my time as a real estate agent, I’ve brought energy, focus, and a client-first mindset to every transaction. I take pride in being someone my clients can rely on—not just for guidance and knowledge, but for steady support from start to finish.
Giving back to this community is a big part of who I am. This region shaped me, and being able to serve the people here isn’t something I take for granted. Every client, every home, and every story matters. At the end of the day, my goal is simple: to work hard for you, to be someone you can trust, and to help you find a place that truly feels like home.
