Where I’m From?
North Plains, Oregon (NP member for life!)

About Me?
I grew up on a farm, which instilled in me a strong work ethic and sincere dedication to my community. I enjoy getting to know people’s stories and learning how others live a life different than mine. I’m also passionate about fitness. It’s truly important to me, and I’ve learned to push myself in the gym with the help of my fantastic trainer.

My true passion is boating. I own a 37-foot Maxum SCR 3700 named “Slacker,” moored in the Fremont area close to the Puget Sound. Traveling on the water is my real joy. It allows me to be free, enjoy the sea life, and provides some of the best views. This year, I was able to see a turtle swimming next to my boat. 

Why I Love Portland?
I call Portland the city with a small-town feeling. My favorite activities are hiking Forest Park, crabbing at Kelly’s Brighton Marina, and fishing from the jetty at Barview. I also love the mild climate and how dedicated people are to interacting with the environment.

My days mostly consist of move-in inspections, as well as general inspections. I do a lot of tenant outreach. My goal is to make sure all our homes are ready for move-in – which means being cleaned & all repairs completed. I work with owners occasionally but mostly work with tenants to smooth the move-in process. I accurately and consistently document all my inspections and provide them to our owners for a baseline of home status at inspection times. Tenants say that I’m very communicative and personable. I work very hard to make sure homes are perfect for moves in and tenant ready.

Why I love Portland?
I love it when the weather is nice – ideally spring weather. I like the rain, too. Portland feels like a big city, but it’s not super big, and it’s not a small town by any means.
