I was born in Baltimore, Maryland and lived there until I was 10. My family then moved to New Jersey where I spent the majority of my life involved in the family business and sports. I played football and wrestled, but my passion was on the lacrosse field. I was fortunate enough to play at the collegiate level at the University of Hartford. Still to this day, I find joy in a game of catch with my children and friends whenever possible. I have been in the hospitality industry since 1998. I started my career as a cook, worked my way up to management, and eventually became the Managing Partner of a restaurant. It was in this industry that I found my passion for great food, wine and PEOPLE. I found that connection to be very rewarding and fulfilling. While managing a restaurant here in Fort Collins, I was blessed to find my beautiful wife, a former restaurant manager and Colorado State University alum. I married my southern belle in 2001, and we have 8 beautiful children together. We consider ourselves very blessed to reside here in beautiful Northern Colorado. The transition into real estate proved to be just as rewarding. It is all about building relationships and future friendships. Every day is new and exciting and a learning opportunity. I love what I do and I give 110% to every client. Whether buying or selling, providing outstanding service and guidance is what I am passionate about.

Along with two school-aged children, we have 3 horses, 2 goats, 2 dogs, 6 chickens, and a 3-legged bunny.

Since I was a young girl, I have had an immense reverence for the outdoors and nature. You could likely find me at the barn, or at the lake, rod in hand. Growing up, my family and I moved several times- from Pennsylvania, to North Carolina, to Texas. My love of the outdoors has brought me to live in the beautiful Rocky Mountains. I have been involved in Real Estate for the past two years, and I am so fortunate for the opportunity to integrate my love for the land into my career with Hayden Outdoors. I reside in Eagle, CO and enjoy the friendly feel of the small town community. I feel blessed to keep this way of life present, and share this beautiful lifestyle in my career. I was raised to appreciate a hard day of work, and to do every job to the best of my ability. In my spare time, I enjoy hiking or snowshoeing with my dogs and getting lost in the mountains for some fresh air. Come summer, you can find me with my fly rod, in the mountains on a good horse, shooting my bow, camping, and ending my day by the fire. I enjoy cooking, hunting, and exploring what is over that next ridge -I am always happy to return to this beautiful place I get to call home!
