A Bit More About Me

Growing up, my parents were homesteaders. As part of the 1970's back to the land movement, they bought rural land and built a home. I grew up outdoors, around sheep, chickens, hay making and always a big garden. I also grew up in the context of rural land investment and development. My extended family were carpenters, builders and investers in rural land. My parents and extended family would buy rural land together, subdivide it and build custom homes on it. Then, a few years later, they would sell that homestead for a profit to build new homes and the process continued. Wash-rinse-repeat. There is no doubt this was a lot of work on top of raising a family and working full time jobs, but they enjoyed it and the PA Dutch in them couldn't help but work hard. The genius of it was that they paid their debt down twice as fast and upgraded their homes each time. It's no wonder I developed a fascination with land management, development and agriculture early on. I didn’t imagine then that those ideas would shape not only my future family’s livelihood — but also my work in real estate.

Fast forward a few short years and after graduating college, my wife and I tilled up my parents’ front yard to plant our first crops. That small beginning grew into over fifteen years of full-time farming. We ran a CSA, sold at farmers markets, raised livestock, grew vegetables from A–Z. Through our farm, Wild Fox Farm, and later our PA-grown hemp brand, Wild Fox Provisions, we learned firsthand what it really takes to run a small business, to make agricultural land productive — and profitable.

But alongside farming, we were also investing.

After buying our first property in 2012, we began to apply ourselves to land management and investing. Through our real estate investment company, Every Age, we have bought and sold multiple agricultural properties over the past decade. We’ve subdivided lots, renovated homes for resale and rental, exercised creative techniques to monetizing farm infrastructure, navigated farmland preservation programs, secured infrastructure grants, leased acreage to organic producers, and grown our own crops on investment properties. We’ve learned how to monetize agricultural land creatively while still stewarding it responsibly and building equity.

That combination — farmer and investor — is something that I have greatly enjoyed and is what uniquely equips me to serve clients who are buying and selling farmland today.

When you walk a property with me, I’m not just looking at comparables. I’m looking at soil types, water access, fencing, infrastructure, zoning flexibility, and income potential. I understand what it feels like to sign a mortgage on raw land and then figure out how to make it pay. I know the risks, the timelines, the grant programs, and the hidden costs — because I’ve lived them.

Agricultural real estate isn’t just acreage. It’s opportunity.

Whether you’re:

• Buying your first farm

• Investing in agricultural land

• Selling a legacy property

• Exploring subdivision or preservation

• Looking to generate income from underutilized acreage

I bring practical experience, long-term vision, and genuine passion to the table.

Farming shaped how I see the world. Real estate is how I help others step into their own version of that dream — whether that means building a homestead, launching an agricultural enterprise, or making a strategic land investment.

If you’re thinking about buying, selling, or investing in farmland, I’d love to walk the ground with you.
