Provo Canyon – Only closed twice in 20 Years

This video is not from today, it was made and then uploaded later.

Hey everyone, I am in Provo Canyon and you can see a little backup of cars! I often have people that are looking to move up Provo Canyon or towards this way that say, “Oh but the canyon is often closed…” I’ve lived in Wallsburg for twenty years now, and this is the second time it’s happened to me! Take a look at the video to see just how beautiful Provo Canyon is! 
20 years, 2 times. This is such a beautiful Canyon and I feel privileged to drive up and down it every day! I’m actually grateful that this happens every once in a while, just to remind me of the beauty! Not that it’s easy to forget; I mean this Canyon is gorgeous and I love looking at it as I drive up and down the canyon. 
I hope this answers some questions people often have asked me about the canyon. It’s really a good and well-maintained road. It is seldom closed despite the many rumors and I thoroughly enjoy living at the top of it. Absolutely nothing can beat these views!

Lindon Pool Party

You may be too cold still to think about swimming outdoors here in Utah. However, August will be here before you know it and with that is our annual Coldwell Banker Client Appreciation Party at the Lindon Pool.
We have great food, great competitions, and more often than not great weather. One of the most fun things to participate in is the “Lily-Pad Race”.
I’m always so grateful for those I get to work within Real Estate and those that continue to refer their friends and family to me. Please plan on attending our Pool Party and we’ll see who wins the competition this year. Hope to see you there!

Huntsman Cancer Golf

Last year I was able to participate in a golf fundraiser for Huntsman Cancer! This is a little clip from that event and some more information about the fundraisers I am privileged to be a part of. Let me know if you’d like to join us for this year’s fundraising golf tournament!

This specific fundraiser was held at the Dave Rose classic for Huntsman Cancer at the Alpine Country Club. If you ever want to support Huntsman Cancer this is the way to do it. What do they say? The worst day of golf is better than the best day at work!

I love this organization, Huntsman is just a classy place. My mom passed away about 26 years ago of cancer and I appreciate what research they do here. It’s amazing the stories that you hear about Huntsman Cancer. Dave and his wife Cheryl Rose have taken this project (I know I’ve talked about it before on my blog) and they raise money every year.

I also appreciate Coldwell Banker and what they do to support this program. I donate every time I have a settlement or a closing. I appreciate my clients and those that have worked with me over these years who make it possible for me to donate! If you have any inkling of buying or selling let me know, I’d love to work with you and make another donation to Huntsman Cancer.

It’s amazing what they do. There is a new joint venture with Primary Children’s and Huntsman Cancer. They have a PET scan where they can do these scans that enable them to know within a day, or even just a few hours, the impact of the treatments, how it’s working and what’s happening with the cancer. It used to take weeks to get information.

Have a great week! It was a beautiful day and I’m very blessed to be able to golf with Coldwell Banker at this Huntsman Classic every year. Get in touch with me if you’d like to come to golf at our fundraising event this year!

SkateBoarding & Persistence


Here is some daily inspiration for you!

My son just taught me how to reach my dream goals. 


 I recently had the opportunity to spend some time at the skate park in Park City with my son Zachary. Skating is something he’s had a passion for since he was about 10 years old. It was really neat to see how far he’s come and how his talent for skating has developed.

Watching him skate made me think of something that my mom often told me:

“Nothing in the world can take the place of persistence.
Talent will not: nothing is more common than unsuccessful people with talent.
Genius will not: Unrewarded genius is almost a proverb.
Education will not: the world is full of educated derelicts.
Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent.”

As I’ve looked back at my life, I’m always trying to improve; trying to be a better father, a better husband, serve more in my community and do better at my career of being a realtor.

I’ve had some pretty big and unexpected changes in the last few years going from owning my construction business to real estate, and it seems like I’m always looking for an answer. ACHIEVING MY DREAMS IS HARD.

“What can I do to be better? How can I connect with my children better, communicate better with my wife?”

Whatever it is, one thing that I know is that, especially as I look at my children, you never stop. You never stop being concerned. You never stop trying to do better; whether it’s with your family, if it’s with income, in the community… Whatever it is, you never stop.

I just want to share with you that I know persistence and determination are critical in whatever you’re doing. Sometimes it’s hard to get up in the morning and think I’ve got to go another day. However, there are a lot of rewards as we are persistent and determined.
Want to reach your dreams? Learn persistence! That’s what I’ll be doing. We’ve got this!

So anyway, have a great weekend and if you’re interested in Park City, it’s a great place to live! Get up here!

Old and New Saratoga Springs

Hello everyone, I am in Saratoga Springs looking at a home here and just wanted to share a couple things with you. Saratoga Springs is the coolest place and this home is in the area that used to have the marina and the old hot springs.


If you know much about Saratoga Springs, it’s a cool story about a guy named John Beck. He was working in the Tintic district of Utah and had made a ton of money in the mines out there. He came over to this side, saw the hot springs and then bought approximately a thousand acres and turned it into a resort. He named it Saratoga Springs after the Saratoga Springs Resort in New York.


It was the late 1800’s when he started it (not that I go back that far) but I do remember coming here in the 70’s. There were parks, picnic tables, a water slide and of course the hot springs. I was a really, really cool place. Now it is homes.


This home is a great home; just over 5,700 square feet, six bedrooms, four baths. But the thing that’s really cool is this home is in a location where they have an HOA and it’s around $100 a month. They have two pools, they have the dock, in fact, you can see the lake right here in the video. They have a private marina, dock, they have basketball courts, they have pavilions, a couple clubhouses. It’s amazing what they have in this HOA for such a low price!


Saratoga, as I’m sure everybody’s heard…Saratoga, Eagle Mountain, all of this side of the lake…has been growing like crazy! In this area here they have houses built, but they’re not on top of each other.


So if you’re interested in living in Saratoga let me know! If you’re interested in the history I’d love to talk to you about that too, it’s a pretty fun history.  

Give me a call if you’re interested in buying or selling Saratoga! Add that to your list, I’d love to help you!

Are you interested in a Real Estate Career?

Have you thought about getting into real estate? 

Have you thought about becoming a Realtor?
Every year we have an open house where you can talk to people about real estate; we have Realtors that will share some experiences of what they do and what’s helped them be successful.
I made this video before our last career night, contact me for more information about this year’s event!
Read on for more about one of the reasons why I love being a realtor:

One of the things that I really like about real estate is the networking.

 I’ve had my real estate license for about 6 years now, and a couple years ago I saw this billboard that caught my eye. It was during the election and a lot of you probably saw this particular billboard! 



On the billboard was a picture of Hillary and Trump with the words displayed: “Are you moving to Canada?” It was the kind of the spoof that made you question who you would choose; and, will you be moving to Canada despite who wins? 

I thought it was hilarious!

 Jimmy is the name of the guy who created the billboard, and I called him soon after that. I had heard about some of his tactics and how well they were working. 

He’s a very successful realtor! 

On that call I was amazed at how eager he was to explain, he was so friendly. I’m with Coldwell Banker, and although he isn’t, he was so friendly and willing to give me some pointers on a few things that have really helped me. 

I’d had my real estate license about three and a half years at that time. Anyways, I saw him again today while I was in Park City and had the chance to talk with him and ask a few more questions. 

I would love to help you just as he has helped me!

 If you’re interested in real estate, they keep saying now’s the best time to get into real estate just simply because the market is so hot for sellers and there are a lot of buyers. 

It’s a lot of work either way, but if you’re interested in real estate, let me know. 

I would love to hop on a phone call and talk about Real Estate! I too am eager and would love to meet you and just talk with you about real estate. If it’s something you might be interested in, I’ll let you know how I went through the process. 

Coldwell Banker has some good options and I’d be happy to share them with you. 
Please contact me, I am here for you!
