In many ways, real estate has been a part of my life all along; my mother (an interior designer) and father (a banker) instilled an appreciation for this great intersection of form and function, but little did I know it would become my occupation. I followed my interest in the arts from the Berklee College of Music and then into the business of representing artists, producing concerts at the University of Chicago, and marketing cutting-edge acoustics design. Meanwhile, a convenient retreat in the Territory quickly became our full-time home, and then so much more as we made friends with neighbors and got involved.
I began practicing real estate to best combine my translatable professional skills—organizing the abstract, activating limited resources, negotiation, and keen project management—with my love for Galena and Jo Daviess County. I have been fortunate to work with many wonderful people and exceptional properties, including an historic 73-acre farm, vacation and full-time homes,
land, and more. But most of all, I enjoy helping clients transform personal goals into an informed, actionable path forward with clarity and understanding.
Between showings, I am an avid cyclist, bringing hundreds of visiting riders to the county and its local businesses annually through volunteer efforts and partnerships with retailers. While the rolling Driftless hills help me stay fit, I love getting a first-hand look at even the most secluded locales! I also enjoy volunteering for the Galena Territory Association and supporting the regional artistic community.
