I was born in California, but my childhood was spent right here in Bellingham. After graduating from Sehome High School I attended the University of Washington, where I graduated with a degree in Anthropology and Archaeology. After a career in land surveying I decided to join my father Mickey in the family business. We worked together for several years before he retired, and I have proudly carried on the tradition of service ever since. I have been a member of The Muljat Group since 1998. As a second generation broker and lifelong resident of Bellingham, I have built a wealth of local information and connections. My encyclopedic knowledge of real estate laws and forms has earned me the nickname of Father Ghio, and I contribute at weekly office meetings to help mentor younger brokers. I work tirelessly to protect my clients interests, and I consistently rank in the top 1% of Bellingham brokers. I am foremost a proud parent and partner to my wife of over 30 years, and a father to our two amazing sons. Home is the most important place in my life, and I understand and honor that every family is seeking their own sanctuary. Your home needs to fit your specific needs, not mine. Experience matters when choosing where your family lives and I have that experience. What does my life look like outside of the real estate world? I am a passionate explorer, hiker, traveler, musician, adventure motorcyclist, and dog rescuer. If two wheeled adventures are your calling, I have recommendations for many amazing rides. Like to mountain bike? I live at the base of Galbraith Mountain and can share the best trails and answer any questions you might have. Your life deserves to be embraced. If you are seeking open spaces and open minds, there is a spot waiting for you here. I look forward to welcoming you.
