My passion for real estate was rooted at an early age. Growing up I spent my summers and holidays helping my grandpa fix up and maintain his rental homes. Maybe it was the relationship I built with him or just the mutually beneficial tenant-owner relationships he built his business model around. Whatever the reason, somewhere along the way I developed an instinctual desire to not only do well for myself but to above all else, make everything I work on a little better than it was before it crossed my path. I grew up in Spokane where I attended Mead Senior High School and later went on to play soccer at Spokane Falls Community College before transferring to Washington State University. There, I majored in general studies with concentrations in business and economics.
