Before real estate, I spent years as an insurance claims adjuster. That job taught me to read a house for what it costs to own, not just what it looks like on a showing. I've been helping buyers and sellers for more than six years, and I co-lead Elevate Realty Group with Cassi Ohlin.

I live in Milford and work across Lincoln and the towns around it. Most of my clients are moving up, downsizing, relocating to the area or buying their first home. I also work with new construction, land and acreage. I'm a graduate of Illinois State University. Outside of work, I volunteer as a youth sports coach and spend my downtime fishing.

How I help

• Pricing a home with real comparable sales, not guesswork
• Spotting repair and insurance issues before they become negotiation problems
• Walking new construction and acreage buyers through the steps that differ from a typical sale
