Transworld NorthStar | 3800 American Blvd. W Suite 760 Minneapolis
Business is in my blood. At a young age, I began working at my parent's small bakery in SW Wisconsin and eventually ran this business entirely in my early-20s. It was here where I learned of the real-world challenges of owning and operating a business while also obtaining my BS in Business Administration at UW-Platteville. From there, I went on to hold many successful roles in helping other Wisconsinites realize their real estate investment potential and grow small businesses. I've always had a passion for those I work for and ensuring their enduring success. My wife and I currently own and operate an acupuncture clinic on the Westside of Madison, WI. In my free time, I love hanging with my kids, playing golf, and spending time relaxing, gardening, and trying to keep it together parenting three young kids with my amazing wife. We live on the Westside of Madison and look forward to working with you.
