About Me


Thank you for visiting my bio page and allowing me the opportunity to tell you a little more about myself. 

I was born and raised in Bellingham Washington where I had a very successful 35 year career as the Parts Manager for the local Chevrolet/Cadillac new car dealership.

In the early 1990's I started taking yearly motorcycle adventures throughout the Western U.S. The highlight each year for me was the time I would spend in the Southwest. On my first visit here I told myself that one day I would live here. 

That dream became a reality in 2012. after taking a year off to travel the country on my motorcycle I decided I needed to figure out what it was I wanted to be when I grew up. Smile 

I loved working with people but at the same time I knew I did not want to go back to spending 12 hours every day, day in/day out, in the same building. My friend whom just happened to be the Realtor that sold me my house here told me my personality and endless optimism and enthusiasm would be a perfect fit for my becoming a Realtor. 

He was right. I LOVE my new career, I call this chapter in my life "Mark 2.0". I consider it a true privilege to be given the opportunity to be a part of helping others make their dreams come true. And while I work with many local clients here, I especially enjoy and specialize in assisting my out of state clients follow in my footsteps of realizing their dream of coming to live in this most wonderful part of the world. 

I fully understand all the "stars" that have to align to make such a major transition possible as well as the often extended time frame involved. I currently have many clients at various stages of the journey, several of whom I have been working with for several years. 

Whether you are already enjoying the "good life" in Arizona or hoping to make the "land of permasummer" where you write your next chapter, it would be my honor and privilege to be allowed to be a part of your "2.0".

Thank you, have a GREAT day and I hope to hear from you soon. Cool
