One thing has been consistent throughout my diverse business career - I have an unrelenting focus on the customer experience. I began my real estate career working for Ray Weber - another Eliason Realty broker, while I was attending the University of Wisconsin - Madison in the 1990s. I double majored in Finance and Real Estate for my bachelor's degree and I earned a master's degree in finance as well. I was six credits short of a master's degree in real estate, but I just couldn't stay in school another day. My brother and I began buying local properties with a few partners and eventually found ourselves running Eliason 1031 Properties. Our company was the second fastest growing company in the United States (Inc Magazine 2008). We purchased and sold nearly half a billion dollars worth of investment real estate throughout the United States. Our revenue in 2007 was 205 million and we had investors in 36 states. The financial crisis shortly after this time was particularly hard on our company - our properties did relatively well, but our buying and selling business didn't since financing was difficult. In 2014, my brother and I were operating an insurance agency in Wausau, WI with another partner. We served thousands of customers throughout Wisconsin. Midwestern Risk Advisors was eventually sold in the spring of 2018 to Spectrum Insurance Group. Throughout this time, I also functioned as the CFO of our family office - 29 North, LLC - which manages, buys, and sells properties. Except for my time in Madison while attending the university, I have lived in Vilas County my entire life. I married a "local" girl and along with our two kids, we can't imagine living anywhere else but the Northwoods. In my past business life, I traveled extensively. Eliason Realty has allowed me to enjoy the area and be with my family much more. I'm very fortunate and happy to be here. I hope I can put my background to work for you.
