I was born and raised in Luverne MN. I graduated from Luverne high school in 1981 then furthered my education by receiving a degree in public relations and business management. In the mid 80s I managed a business in Minneapolis for a Sioux Falls based company. In the fall of 1986, I moved back to Luverne and started raising livestock and working in construction. In the early 90s, I started a pressure cleaning business, which I still own and manage today along with farming. I began investing in Real Estate in 1999, in which I would purchase, fix up and resell or rent out properties. I really enjoy designing and reconstructing older homes. By following my passion in Real Estate, I received my Real Estate license in December 2013 then, in 2015, along with my business partner, we started up a Real Estate brokerage in Luverne, MN.

I married my wife Teresa in 1986, and we have three children. Daniel the oldest who lives in Dell Rapids South Dakota with his wife Maria and son Isaac and is a highway patrolman, Michael who lives in Duluth and is a Forster for the federal government, and Bethany who helps farm south of Luverne with her husband Cory and daughter Emma.

I was born and raised in Luverne, MN. I graduated from Luverne High School in 2001. After high school, I worked construction for 10 years. In 2006, I started investing in Real Estate. In 2011, I started managing Maplewood Cemetery which I still manage today. In 2012, I got my home inspection license which then led me in the interest of Real Estate licensing. In 2014, I received my Real Estate license and a year later opened a Real Estate brokerage in Luverne with Dave Hup.

I married my high school sweetheart, Missy (Boomgaarden) in 2003. We have four children (Tyson, Amira, Hannah, and Emma) who attend school in Luverne.

I became a Realtor® in 2017 after several years of purchasing homes in need of repair or cosmetic updating. My husband and I have purchased homes in need of some TLC and have continued the journey of remodeling homes, buying rental properties and selling homes we completed. I have worked as a school psychologist for 29 years and continue to spend my evenings, weekends and summers helping others find their dream home. I grew up on a registered dairy farm, graduated from Luverne High School, Augustana and UW-Eau Claire. I have raised my family in Rock County and especially love the time I spend with my three grandsons.

I have a passion for working with people and helping them find the perfect home. I enjoy creating and developing long-term relationships with my clients that continue long after the purchase or sale of their home. I know that each client, whether they are a buyer or a seller, has different needs and I pride myself in understanding each situation.
