From The Horse's Mouth

I like finding the right piece of property or home for someone and helping them get it bought. Then I like helping connect them to the people and services that they need to make their own.

West of Weird Properties is a very effective real estate brokerage company. In a time when agents switch brokerages weekly in search of the right combo of folks and focus, WoW properties has people who have been working together for more than 12 years and running. A real estate brokerage works much more effectively when the folks who work there are happy to be there and are comfortable working together. Working well together over time is a benefit to everyone involved, and definitely makes a difference for our clients.

With my background as a carpenter from high school through college, I took those skills to design and help build my own home. I also design and build rainwater collection systems. My own home is 100% rainwater collection with no back-up, and is now 16 years old!

I have helped people with their livestock management programs by buying and moving stocker calves to and from their properties. I had a land clearing business for some years clearing cedar and reclaiming land by planting native grasses in cleared areas.

I know a considerable amount about septic systems and water wells and currently serve on the Hays Trinity Groundwater Conservation District board of directors.

When I’m not working with clients I am playing “catch-up” around my place and playing music.

Most people don’t know that I rode horses in the movies for several years: “Rambo 3,” Columbia pictures “Geronimo,” “Far and Away,” “Son of The Morning Star,” and Busch Beer commercials.

My main gig was as a sound tech with a video cameraman for the major networks, traveling to conflicts around the world and gathering audio for productions of Oprah, Dr. Phil, CBS Sports, “60 Minutes,” “20-20,” “Nightline,” “Dateline.”

My definition of an ideal day is to get to the end of it and be able to say “ that was the best one yet!”
