Portland has been home to me since 2001, and after more than two decades here, I still feel lucky to live and work in a city with so much character, beauty and community. I’m a proud Oregon native, raised in Eugene and a University of Oregon Duck who couldn’t stay away from the Pacific Northwest for long. For more than twenty years, I’ve had the privilege of helping Portland buyers and sellers navigate the market and make confident real estate decisions.

Today I live in Mt. Tabor with my wife, Dannell, and our two dogs, Autzen and Hank. Autzen is our sweet and devoted English Lab who truly lives for his people, and Hank is our mischievous Bernedoodle puppy and Autzen’s little brother. Most mornings start with a strong cup of coffee and a long sniff-walk with the pups around Mt. Tabor, taking in the views and quiet moments around Portland’s own extinct volcano. Our kids, Olivia and Will, are now off building their lives on opposite coasts, which makes the time we spend together as a family even sweeter.

Since 2004, I’ve had the privilege of helping Portlanders buy and sell homes across the city I love. Real estate is deeply personal. It is not just about property, it is about life transitions, financial decisions and finding the right place to land. My approach is rooted in experience, thoughtful strategy, strong negotiation and a calm, steady presence throughout the process.

Clients often tell me they appreciate that I bring both professional guidance and genuine care to every transaction. My goal is to make the process feel clear, manageable and even enjoyable, whether you are buying your first home, selling a place full of memories or planning your next move.

When I am not working with clients, you will likely find me cooking something delicious at home, fly fishing on the Deschutes, skiing at Mt. Bachelor or exploring another corner of this incredible state. Portland has always felt like home to me, and helping others find their place here is one of the great joys of my work.
