About us

I’m a Colorado-born REALTOR® who combines service-driven values with deep market knowledge to offer an exceptional real-estate experience. After honorably serving in the U.S. Army and achieving the rank of Staff Sergeant, I transitioned into real estate with the same discipline, integrity and client-first mindset that defined my military career.

Origin Story

Veterans Move Together was born from my personal experiences as an Army Veteran during my initial Permanent Change of Station (PCS) to Fort Carson. Having been a renter in El Paso, Texas, and never contemplating homeownership, the idea of owning a home seemed distant and daunting.

Moreover, I was unaware of how to navigate the VA home loan process. I always had the belief that it was complex, time-consuming, and likely unattainable for a young E-5 with two children. (How could I possibly afford a house when renting appeared the more economical path?)

During the transition to purchasing my first home with my first significant relocation with a new family in tangent, I acquired two critical insights. Firstly, I realized that whether renting or purchasing, I would be paying towards a housing cost. The difference lay in whether those funds would contribute to another individual's mortgage or my own. Naturally, I began to see the appeal of directing my money towards building equity for myself rather than solely funding someone else's asset.

Secondly, I recognized the abundance of crucial information that I wished I had been aware of prior to utilizing my VA loan and undertaking my first home purchase. Much of this knowledge came post purchase, leading me to reflect on the importance of asking my realtor more probing questions in advance. (When working Veterans Move Together, if you don’t ask them than I will.)

Following my separation from the Army and after my deployments and relocations, I still had a strong desire to continue supporting and collaborating with my fellow Veterans. The question was how I was going to do this; with real estate being a good fit knowing this was something at some point in everyone’s career that all Veterans will have to consider and need support with. It was then Veterans Move Together was born.

Our mission at Veterans Move Together is straightforward: to make the real estate process feel easier for you by empowering you through education. Leveraging my comprehensive real estate expertise, whether you are contemplating a purchase or sale, we strive to provide clarity on various parts of the transaction from start to end.

This includes understanding the mechanics of a title company, navigating lending options, and accessing supplementary resources aimed at enhancing your knowledge and facilitating your entry into the market or next home purchase during a relocation. Importantly, my abilities to open opportunities for you extends beyond Colorado; I possess resources to aid in your transition to another state, ensuring a seamless and positive experience—an aspect I wish I had during my Permanent Change of Station endeavors.
