Four years on the men's golf team at the University of Oregon, and we won the NCAA national championship in 2016. I graduated that year with a business degree. Then I spent two years on the Canadian Tour and a handful of mini tours before I parted ways with the game.

Tournament golf teaches you two things that carry straight over. You prepare for a course long before you see it. And the shot you hit under pressure is the one you have already practiced a thousand times. That is most of this job.

I joined Harnish Company Realtors in September of 2021. I work on residential and commercial sales and on development — right now that means seven building lots on Goodall Road and two new homes on Egan Way. I take on a small number of properties at a time. That is deliberate.

What Sellers tell me they did not expect is how much of the work happens before a listing goes live. The photography, the pricing conversation, the order things are released in. I would rather spend three weeks getting that right than six months adjusting price.
