I was born and raised in the heart of the Chugach Mountain Range in Valdez, Alaska.  My grandfather introduced me to the world of commercial fishing as a child.  As a young man, I spent my summers fishing salmon outside of Valdez in Prince William Sound and eventually moving up to the Bering Sea to fish for King Crab. After graduating and longing for something more, I moved to Seattle.  It was here that I met my wife, just over fifteen years ago.  After spending a few years in Crested Butte, Colorado, we returned to Seattle and settled down. With a love for the Pacific Northwest and a down to earth attitude, I am passionate about helping people realize their dream of homeownership in one of the greatest areas in the country.
