I was born in Minnesota where I have spent all my life, outside of two years I spent in Mali West Africa when I served in the Peace Corps. My wife Renee and son Grady reside in Edina where we built a wonderful network of friends. I enjoyed a successful sales career spanning over 30 years through perseverance, learning, tenacity, and building personal relationships. In the footsteps of my father, I have a genuine interest in meeting people, learning about them, building relationships, and helping enhance people’s lives. 

My parents moved into a senior living facility over a year ago, where I spent countless hours and have learned the importance of ensuring a successful transition for seniors as they enter the next phase of life. I decided to leave my career in IT after spending time with seniors, learning what they need to enjoy life, and realizing that families need help ensuring seniors find housing that will bring joy.
