I was raised in Lake Bluff, attended Lake Forest High School and graduated from Indiana University in 2012.
After three years in the logistics industry I decided to follow my passion into the real estate business, which my family has been a part of for over 100 years. I have experience working with first time buyers in Chicago and became very familiar with that market while living in Lincoln Park for three years. I work out of our Lake Forest office and am excited to be part of the new GGL Chicago team of agents.
