I am a Quad City original! I was raised in Davenport, have lived in Moline, and now own a home in Rock Island. After high school I went to Loras College in Dubuque, Iowa. After completing my studies I moved to Osaka, Japan for 2 ½ years to teach. I’m a musician and comedian with Comedy Sportz. I have performed all over the country for different events with my band (Wicked Liz & the Bellyswirls), and as a member of Guys In Ties, a nationally known improvisational comedy group.
In my spare time my wife Kasey & I enjoy hiking, traveling, and spending time with friends….as well as raising our daughter & son. Life is so good when you are happy at home!
I believe that buying or selling a house is stressful enough. You need an agent with the heart of a teacher and that's ME! I’m good at staying calm in stressful situations, and helping both parties in a transaction to get what they want, take a look at my client testimonal page to see what my clients have had to say about Me!
