About Me
Based in Naples, Florida, I have cultivated a robust network of referral partners across Florida and the U.S. Originally from Minnesota, I served as Executive Director for two government agencies and owned healthcare clinics in Minnesota and Indiana. With over 20 years of experience as a residential and commercial real estate investor in MN, IN, and FL, I bring strategic insight and negotiation expertise to every transaction.
Beyond real estate, I’m an avid golfer (6 handicap), cyclist, and dedicated reader. I also proudly answer to "dog mom" to Birdie and a tricolor female French Bulldog.
