Being born & raised in Rockford, I have grown to love all the city has to offer. Great restaurants, semi-pro and high school sports, parks and great architecture. I attended the Rockford public schools and attended Rock Valley College. I had a long career as a certified journeyman machinist and then moved on to my ultimate dream as a REALTOR in 2010. I have been happily married since 1991 and am very active in my church. Over the years I have continued my studies to help my clients and myself. I have the e-Pro designation which helps with social media and advertising and designation as a Senior Real Estate Specialist (SRES). I continually strive to learn new ways to make real estate transactions smooth and efficient. I pride myself on minimizing the stress of buying or selling, by taking a very honest and comprehensive look at your situation and goals.
