My Story
I was born and raised in Missoula, attending Loyola High School and the University of Montana. From 1977 to 1985, I was a real estate agent in Missoula specializing in residential and income properties. From 1985 to 2003, I moved to Eastern Washington, working for a ConAgra division as Credit and Finance Manager. With my background in real estate, I also became responsible for that divisions’ commercial real estate acquisition and disposal, as well as new construction. I returned to Missoula in 2004 to care for my ailing mother. From 2004 to 2006 I was a general contractor and successfully completed two subdivisions and built and sold homes. I became an active, full-time realtor again in 2007.
Having been born and raised in Missoula, I have witnessed a great deal of change here in the beautiful Missoula Valley, and I make the most of living here. My interests in motorcycling, hiking, and fishing keep me outdoors in these great valleys as much as time allows! Western Montana has so much to offer I don’t really need to travel anywhere else to enjoy pristine streams and lakes, beautiful mountain passes, or rugged and majestic mountains!

Formerly a member of the now disabled Guardian Angels, a non-profit organization to provide cost of travel, lodging, and fuel for cancer patients who could not afford it, which was disbanded as the Oncologist who headed it moved.
