MEET YOUR AGENT
Good advice starts
with real experience.
I live in Central Texas and work here as a Realtor with MODUS Real Estate, helping homebuyers, sellers, and investors find their next move in Austin and the surrounding communities.
My real estate career began in Milwaukee in 2020, working in property management with a portfolio of more than 450 units—from single-family homes to smaller apartment buildings. That experience gave me a practical foundation in how properties work and what ownership involves.
Today, I’m also an active real estate investor and house flipper, and I own and manage my own rental portfolio. I bring firsthand experience with remodeling budgets, renovation decisions, maintenance, and day-to-day property operations.
That firsthand experience helps me look beyond the finishes and ask practical questions about a property’s condition, ongoing costs, and potential. Whether you’re buying a rental or finding a home for your family in Central Texas, I’ll help you weigh those details alongside the life you want to build.
My 2024 appearances on The American Dream TV captured part of my Milwaukee chapter. Watch those episodes below. Today, Central Texas is home—and the focus of my work with clients.

A FEW THINGS YOU MAY BE WONDERING
Let’s make the
next step clearer.
Do you help people buy a home to live in, too?
Yes. I help first-time buyers, growing families, and people planning their next move. We’ll focus on your budget, preferred location, daily needs, and the property’s condition.
What areas of Central Texas do you serve?
My Texas work includes Austin, Round Rock, Pflugerville, Cedar Park, Georgetown, and surrounding communities. Tell me where you want to be, and we’ll confirm the right scope for your search or sale.
How does your Milwaukee background inform your work here?
Milwaukee is where I built my early property-management experience and hosted The American Dream TV in 2024. That background informs how I look at property condition, renovation needs, and ownership costs. Today, I live in Central Texas and focus my client work here through MODUS Real Estate.
What does investor-friendly mean?
I actively invest in real estate, flip houses, and own and manage a rental portfolio. That firsthand experience informs how we discuss renovation needs, operating costs, rental potential, and exit options. Projections are estimates, and each property still needs its own inspections, documentation, and due diligence.
Do I have to agree to text messages to contact you?
No. Both text-message choices are optional and start unchecked. You can submit an inquiry with your name, email, goal, and message while leaving your phone number and both text options blank.
