Bio
With nearly 20 years in the real estate and property management industry, my experience spans private sector management, military housing (as a civilian contractor), real estate sales, and brokerage.

In 2016, I founded TruHome Property Solutions, growing it into a leading property management firm in the Grand Forks region. With a focus on streamlined operations, technology integration, and superior client service, the company has expanded to 20 employees and $1.6 million in annual revenue. In 2025, I launched TruHome Realty, further enhancing our ability to serve property investors with full-service brokerage solutions.
