Education
Jeff was raised in Blaine, Minnesota, which is about 15 miles north of Minneapolis. In high school, he was involved in athletics, including track and field and basketball. After high school, he accepted a track and field scholarship from the University of St. Thomas (UST).
Jeff attended UST for two years, and competed in long jump, high jump, and triple jump track and field events. He then transferred to St. Cloud State, where he maintained a track and field scholarship and earned a bachelor’s degree in health education.
After graduating from college, Jeff moved to San Diego and then to Los Angeles, working in the education field. He decided to further his education, earning his interdisciplinary master’s degree in health sciences and education at the University of Nevada, Las Vegas (UNLV).
Real Estate Experience in the United States
During the five years that Jeff spent in Las Vegas, he started doing home loans and real estate. He became a licensed real estate agent in three states: California, Nevada, and Minnesota. After about five years in Vegas, the market slowed due to the Great Recession, and Jeff decided to return to teaching. He spent the next five years teaching and coaching in California, settling in the Bay Area until he and his wife began to plan their move to Cabo.
Moving to Cabo
After getting married, Jeff and his wife began to seriously discuss the idea of moving to Cabo. They decided to sell their home in California, purchase a home in Cabo, drive down the Baja peninsula, and move to Cabo full time. Shortly after arriving in Cabo, they got a RZR to help them explore the local area and beaches.
Real Estate Experience in Cabo
Jeff has been living and selling real estate in Cabo San Lucas since 2013. As a real estate agent, he is as upfront and informative as possible with clients; he is happy to discuss HOA fees, closing costs, and any other expenses that go into buying a home so there are no surprises down the road. He can also answer any questions and concerns that you may have regarding fideicomisos, property taxes, or any other aspect of the real estate transaction.
Buying or Selling a Home in Mexico

Jeff is a big sports fan. He follows football, basketball, soccer, golf, tennis, and baseball. As a former resident of Minnesota, Las Vegas, and California, he tends to root for teams from these areas.
