The next ten years were filled with raising my family, completing my B.S. in Education and teaching school for three years.

In April of ’83, I became licensed to sell real estate and became a broker/owner of Columbia Falls Realty in 1985. After 17 years at Columbia Falls Realty, I have now opened Columbia Falls Real Estate & Rentals and am working with my brother and nephew. Columbia Falls Real Estate & Rentals is a small family owned and operated business which specializes in friendly, competent service.

My interests are mainly in youth athletics where I have coached and refereed for many years. I am currently a registered MOA official in wrestling, football and girl’s fast pitch softball.

While working at the aluminum smelter I attended Flathead Valley Community College and received my degree in 1972. During most of my thirty-four year tenure at the aluminum plant I was a union officer in Local 320 and retired in January 2002. For the past twenty years while working at the aluminum plant I also work as a real estate salesman part-time. I am now working full-time in real estate.

I am a life-time member of Columbia Falls Masonic Lodge #89, and a member of the Scottish Rite, York Rite and Shrine.

My interests include hunting and I am a member of Ducks Unlimited.

Where else can someone live where you can go hiking in Glacier National Park or white-water rafting on the Middle Fork of the Flathead River in the summer and downhill skiing at Big Mountain or Blacktail Mountain in the winter?

I am a 3rd generation Montanan. My great-grandparents settled in the Flathead Valley in 1938. I have strong ties to the Flathead Valley.

I have a variety of interests and hobbies. My latest project has been restoring/rebuilding a 1969 Chevy Chevelle SS. I also own a 1973 Buick Riviera. The Chevelle is my hot rod and the Riviera is my road car.
