About Me
I have lived in the Greater Kalamazoo Area my entire life. My wife, Carolyn and I have chosen Texas Twp as our home base and live on a 5 acre parcel close to Mattawan. We have sent our children to the Mattawan Public Schools and are thrilled about their quality education and there success in life now that they are adults.

I enjoy buying and fixing up homes and have completed over 40 homes. I have also completed two subdivision consisting of over 40 lots on 30 acres. I have marketed many new homes but my specialty is in the sale of pre-owned homes.
