Summary

Experienced and entrepreneurial leader with a strong background in luxury ranch real estate, land management, and high-end client services. As the founder of a successful independent brokerage in Colorado, I’ve negotiated complex land deals, managed multimillion-dollar transactions, and built long-term relationships with high-net-worth clients. My leadership style is hands-on, service-driven, and rooted in integrity — equally comfortable in the boardroom or out on the ranch. A lifelong local of the Eagle Valley, I bring a deep appreciation for the land, a passion for the Western lifestyle, and a strong commitment to operational excellence, sustainability, and authentic guest experiences. Adept in financial oversight, capital project planning, and team development, I thrive in dynamic, seasonal environments and take pride in preserving the legacy and natural beauty of the mountain West.
