Welcome to Northern Michigan! I am

a dedicated, detail-oriented agent who loves living in Northern Michigan. I love the outdoors and am very active with family and youth sports. In high school, I ran cross country and track and served as captain of both teams. Upon graduating high school, I served in the US Army and was blessed to travel all over the country. I was stationed in South Carolina, Alabama, Texas and New Jersey. After finishing my time with the US Army, I moved back to Michigan and attended Michigan State University, home of the Spartans. Although you may be surprised when you meet me, that I am a lifelong Michigan Wolverine fan, and my friends will tell you I have a University of Michigan shirt for every day of the week! After just 3 ½ years, I earned my Bachelor’s Degree in Criminal Justice with a specialization in Security Management. I put this background to use for most of my professional life as an investigator for both private and governmental agencies. I have traveled the country living and working in almost any environment conducting specialized investigations. My travels took me to numerous states and regions of the country, working with several corporations and governmental entities. I again returned to my home state of Michigan in 2009, and continued my investigation profession for the state of Michigan. This experience has allowed me to work with people from all walks of life and all variations of professions. I have made many contacts in the community, and enjoy a relationship with people from all over Northern Michigan. I enjoy spending my free time with my family which includes outdoor activities and traveling all over Northern Michigan and downstate to other family members. A regular tag-a-long on these adventures is my ‘fur-child’, a Siberian Husky named Nanuk. Nanuk has had many adventures of her own and has caused both laughter and gray hairs for everyone, but we love her anyway! When it comes to your real estate needs, I put my background, work ethic, attention to detail and ‘desire to know’ to work for you.

😡 Will this make you angry? Maybe.

One of the biggest mistakes people make before moving to Northern Michigan is assuming it's either dirt cheap… or outrageously expensive.

The truth is, most people aren't surprised by their mortgage payment. They're surprised by everything else. Moving to Northern Michigan shouldn't come with expensive surprises.

🎙️ In Episode 11 of Northern Michigan Real Estate Intelligence, I break down the hidden costs many people don't think about until it's too late.

🚨 People move to Northern Michigan every year thinking they're escaping high costs of living.

Then they get surprised by property taxes, propane bills, winter expenses, and everyday costs they never planned for.

I just published a guide that breaks down what it actually costs to live in Northern Michigan in 2026, including Traverse City, Cadillac, Kalkaska, and Wexford County. There is even a bonus Property Tax Estimator calculator included!

🎙️ I've done a lot of podcast episodes — but this is my first one on video.
I was recently invited as a guest on the Waterfront Agent Podcast with host Michael Travis, part of the Icons of Real Estate national network. And unlike my own podcast episodes, this one you can actually watch.
We covered nearly an hour of real Northern Michigan waterfront content:
🌊 The biggest mistakes waterfront buyers make
🚨 Real estate scams and fake land sales — and how they happen
📋 Lake, shoreline, and township regulations most buyers never knew existed
📈 How COVID migration permanently changed Northern Michigan real estate
🤖 The story behind how I built NorMI™ — my AI real estate assistant

If you're thinking about buying waterfront property in Northern Michigan — or you're just curious how AI is reshaping the way people buy real estate — this one's worth the watch.

🚨 Everyone says they want to move to Northern Michigan.

But most people spend more time researching mortgage rates than they do researching what life is actually like once they get here.

🎙️ In this podcast episode, I break down the beaches, festivals, trails, wineries, and fall color destinations that keep people coming back year after year.

Everyone knows about Traverse City. Far fewer people know where locals actually spend their summer weekends.

Some of Northern Michigan's best beaches, festivals, sunset spots, small towns, and scenic drives never make the typical tourist lists.

Before you plan your next trip—or decide whether Northern Michigan might be the right place to call home—read this complete guide. You might discover a few places you've been driving past for years. 👀

❗ Northern MI STR's.....Just because you COULD, doesn't mean you SHOULD🤔🤔 **NEW PODCAST ALERT**

Some investors spend weeks trying to figure out: "Can I legally Airbnb this property?" Then they buy it only to discover later that legality wasn't the real risk. The real risk was:

❗ Underestimating expenses
❗ Overestimating occupancy
❗ Ignoring seasonality

A property can legally operate as a short-term rental and still be a terrible investment.

🎙️ Hot STR Podcast just posted...

The most expensive STR mistake in Northern Michigan isn't buying the wrong property. It's buying the right property... in the wrong township. I regularly see investors spend weeks analyzing:
✔ Occupancy projections
✔ Nightly rates
✔ Cash flow estimates
✔ Return on investment
..only to discover they never fully researched the township's STR rules. And sometimes the issue isn't even a permit cap. It can be:
❗ Zoning restrictions
❗ Occupancy limits
❗ Septic capacity requirements
❗ Permit conditions
❗ Future ordinance changes

The reality is that two nearly identical properties a few miles apart can have completely different investment potential.

In this episode of Northern Michigan Real Estate Intelligence, I break down why smart investors should focus on more than just STR caps when evaluating Northern Michigan opportunities.

If you're actively looking for Airbnb, VRBO, or vacation rental properties in Northern Michigan, this episode may save you from an expensive mistake.

🏡 One of the most expensive mistakes STR buyers are making in Northern Michigan right now is trusting Zillow descriptions instead of township ordinances. Seriously.

A listing can say: “Perfect Airbnb opportunity.” …and the township may already have:
❗ STR caps full
❗ Waitlists
❗ New restrictions coming
❗ No legal path to operate at all

Meanwhile, only a few miles away, some townships STILL have no hard STR permit caps. I just published the most detailed breakdown I’ve done yet covering the Northern Michigan counties and townships. Even the ones that don't ban STR's--but they won't let you do it anyway.

Newest Podcast Alert!!
🏡 One of the biggest lies people in real estate are still telling buyers right now is this: “The market is crashing.”

That narrative is creating a lot of confusion across Northern Michigan. Because what’s actually happening is more complicated than the headlines.

Yes:
✔ Buyers have more leverage
✔ Homes are taking longer to sell
✔ Negotiations are becoming more common

But desirable homes in places like Traverse City, Cadillac, and waterfront communities are still moving.

This podcast explains what the 2026 Northern Michigan market is really doing—and why broad national housing headlines often miss what’s happening locally.
