FOCUSED ON GROWING AUBURN TOGETHER

Many of you may know me as a Real Estate agent for North Eastern Group Realty. I have also been a resident of Auburn for over 21 years. When searching for a place to start our life together, my wife Aimee and I chose Auburn for many reasons. We loved the small-town feel, the community events, and the many features and opportunities Auburn had to offer. After marrying in 2001, we decided to plant our roots here. In 2007, we officially began our family by welcoming our daughter, Mackenzie, into the world. Over the past several years, we have had the pleasure of welcoming 3 students into our home through the Cultural Homestay Foreign Exchange Student program. We have enjoyed showing these amazing young ladies what Auburn, the state of Indiana, and the United States has to offer and why we love it here. Our most recent exchange daughter, Margherita, is from Venice, Italy and has been with us since July of 2022. 

My educational background includes graduating from Carroll High School in 1995, attending IPFW (now PFW), and attending the F.C. Tucker School of Real Estate.  I also have held State Certifications in the following categories: Medical First Responder, Hazmat Awareness and Operations, Pre-Basic Mandatory Beginner Firefighter, Firefighter 1 and 2, and currently hold an Indiana Real Estate Broker License. I continue to maintain, stay updated, and grow personally with additional real estate classes every year.

In 1999, I began working in the steel business where I worked for almost 17 years. For the last 5 years of my tenure with SDI, I accepted a position overseeing crews within the Transportation Department. During that time, I also served as a Firefighter for the City of Auburn from 2008 until December of 2017. In the fall of 2016, I pursued my real estate license and opened a real estate business to have the opportunity to serve people. Over the last six years, I built a highly successful business as an independent contractor for North Eastern Group Realty. I accomplished this ongoing task by earning the trust of my clients, many of whom previously lived in Auburn or the surrounding area. I have also helped clients relocate here while always keeping their best interests in mind. It is always a pleasure to share the many positive features of our city!  Our team and staff have grown through the development and support of each team member, effective communication, and great teamwork.   

Since moving to Auburn many years ago, I have continued to support local businesses, and have been incredibly involved in the community by supporting and volunteering for many organizations throughout Dekalb County. I currently serve as 1^st Vice Commander of the Sons of The American Legion Post 97.
