About

I was born and raised in Roann, Indiana, near the Wabash and Miami County line, where my passion for the outdoors started early. Hunting with my dad taught me more than just the basics of the outdoors—it taught me respect for the land, responsibility, and a deeper perspective on life. Those early experiences shaped how I approach both land and my work today.

I graduated from Huntington University with a degree in Recreational Management while playing four years of college baseball. After college, I began guiding hunting trips in Pike County, Illinois at Farmland Trophies and eventually became a co-owner of the outfitting business. That experience gave me a hands-on understanding of land from a different perspective, working directly with landowners to improve properties and maximize their wildlife potential.

For over a decade, I’ve worked as an outfitter and land manager, while also building a career in real estate with Mossy Oak Properties. I’ve always had a passion for helping people achieve their goals in land ownership, whether that’s buying their first hunting property, downsizing, or investing in land for the future.

Today, I split time between Peru, Indiana and Griggsville, Illinois, working with clients across both states. I know Miami, Fulton, Cass, and Wabash counties especially well because I’ve lived, worked, and serviced these areas throughout my career. My goal is to help clients make confident decisions while improving the land for future generations.

To me, land is everything. It’s where I feel most connected, where I can step away from the noise, and where I focus on conservation, habitat work, and improving the property over time.
