I grew up in Stillwater, MN, near the Twin Cities, a small town with a similar historical and tourist feel to Truckee and attended my first year of college at the University of MN-Duluth. Wanting to be closer to the mountains and an ocean, I then transferred to the University of Oregon in Eugene. It was at the end of my senior year that I became friends with Jeremy Schneir, who was later to become my business partner.

After graduating with a B.S. in Sociology and Geography in 1994, I left Oregon and traveled to Alaska, Utah and New Zealand. While traveling in these places, I realized I wanted to live in an area that provided outdoor recreation and beautiful rugged scenery. The opportunity came when I returned in early 1996 and Jeremy invited me to work with Second Home Care, Inc. My involvement with Second Home Care, Inc. has allowed me to develop a thorough understanding of the Tahoe area, not only real estate, but all aspects of home maintenance, costs and trends.
