I practically grew up with a fly rod in hand. A resident of Montana since 1975, I have spent a considerable amount of time – upwards of two hundred days some years – chasing trout. As a natural evolution of this passion, I worked for nine years as a fishing guide on the many world-class trout waters of southwest and south central Montana, and have ventured to Alaska, Canada and saltwater destinations with fly rod in tow. I am also an avid big game and bird hunter. Hunting principally with traditional archery equipment, I have been fortunate enough to harvest many species of Western big game over some thirty years of bowhunting in Montana and Canada. Montana is a bird hunter’s paradise, and through the years, I have taken advantage of this marvelous resource as much as time has allowed. With a twenty-eight or sixteen gauge over my shoulder, I have walked countless miles, over a lot of Montana real estate in pursuit of Hungarian partridge, blue, ruffed and sharptail grouse, pheasants and waterfowl.

A graduate of Montana State University with a degree in Political Science, I have been in the real estate business for over twenty years. Having been a partner/owner in another Bozeman-based farm and ranch brokerage firm since 1992, I decided to form my own company in 2007 – Western Ranch Properties – with the idea of dealing exclusively in the best recreational land opportunities available.
