From a young age, I have loved working with people and all things real estate; I feel blessed to be able to do this each day. Having been a broker for over 12 years and an auctioneer for 3 years, I have seen a lot of changes in the industry, but one thing stays the same: people want to be treated honestly and fairly. That is something we have built our business on and I look forward to continue serving our community in this way.

I enjoy photography, organization, design, and all things home – mix that with some business & marketing education and you have my role here at RES. If you are ever in our office, you’ll see me first, working away to create all sorts of things for our office & clientele.

I live in Elkhart with my wife and four boys. Having worked in the trades for years, I am excited to pair that experience with my passion for serving people, particularly in real estate. My goal is to listen carefully and work diligently for each client I represent.

I have lived in Shipshewana for most of my life with my husband, Brad. We really enjoy the rural Northeast Indiana lifestyle. Previously, I owned and operated my own business. After selling in 2002, I got my real estate license. Flash forward to now, twenty or so years later, and I still love what I do!

I, too, grew up in Shipshewana! My daughter is attending Westview schools, where my mom, Cynthia, and I both graduated from. Since graduating, I decided to continue my education and have earned a Master’s degree in Business Administration. It means so much to me to be able to work closely with my mom, and the time we spend together helping our community is incredible.

I’ve been an auctioneer for a while now & wanted to bring more value to clients by becoming a broker. 20+ years in manufacturing has taught me that learning is useless if not applied. I love to meet people and am driven to win the best deal.

My wife, Lovina, and I reside near Middlebury. Growing up on a farm in LaGrange gave me a love for the land. I also appreciate architecture, design, & what makes a house a home. My mission is to show the Kingdom of God through the practice of real estate.

I am a semi-retired farmer who enjoys being out in nature and meeting people. You have probably seen me either setting signs around our client’s properties or at some of our live auctions!

I live in Shipshewana with my wife and five children. I have enjoyed doing auctions since 2010 when I became a licensed auctioneer. I enjoy meeting with people and guiding them through the liquidation process. My favorite part of what I do has got to be auction day!
