About Us

I am a life long resident of eastern Washington, where I grew up on a large wheat ranch. My career began as a CPA focused on the timber industry. Then, I worked for a large building materials distributor, who also owned a door shop, kitchen and countertop shop and two retail home improvement centers, as CFO. Going to work for Tree Top brought me to wine country over 25 years ago. With Tree Top I had the opportunity to travel the States and much of the world as their VP of Business Development and Planning. My last corporate position was with a large private label cannery which produced applesauce, pears, and cherries, where I was responsible for finance, information systems, and insurance.

I live just north of Selah, on three acres, with a small orchard, duck pond, huge willows and 4 to 5,000 daffodils. I am married with three grown children and six grandkids and two dogs – Maggie May and Gracie Allen. As an active community volunteer, I have enjoyed serving as director of the Yakima Greenway Foundation for over 20 years and co-founder and co-chair of Case of the Blues for the first seven years. I co-founded and served as Director of ClubSelah, a girl’s volleyball club, whose high school team won their third straight state championship in 2008. I play tennis and enjoy salmon and steelhead fishing.

Let me apologize for the long domain name, but when I started looking for a name, anything starting with Wine Country came up with sites in Napa and Sonoma counties. So I chose a name which focused on Washington State. Hopefully the site will be useful and you will bookmark or mark it as a “favorite” and return often.

I hope you enjoy surfing this website. I pledge to keep it as current and up to date as possible. If I can assist you in selling or buying a home or property or if you have questions about the market or suggestions about this site, please contact me. Enjoy!
