How I help

A mountain home is a life decision and a financial one

Buying

Weekend place, ski home, or the move for good. I'll help you find the right town, the right property, and the right price.

Selling

Pricing grounded in real market data, marketing through The Agency's global network, and a clear plan from list to close.

Planning

Before real estate, I advised families and family offices on wealth transfer. I can help you think through how a property fits your family's long-term plan.

About

Weekend warrior from Boulder. Vail local by choice.

My parents met on a chairlift in Vail.

I grew up skiing with my family on weekends, worked my way onto the U.S. Freestyle Ski Team, and competed on the World Cup. After racing, I was Program Director and Head Coach at Ski & Snowboard Club Vail, where I coached kids who went on to the U.S. Ski Team and the Olympics.

Before real estate, I worked in financial services, advising ultra-high-net-worth families and family offices on wealth transfer strategy. Today I bring both worlds together: I know these mountains, and I understand what a property means inside a family's bigger financial picture.

I live in EagleVail with my wife, Rachel, and our daughters, and we're building a home in Minturn.
