I know this town very well and have strong relationships across the valley. I own and operate a self built but humble real-estate portfolio. Which also included building a spec home in Ennis. I love real-estate, DYIs, and have the experience working with the city when opening Valley CU's branch in Bozeman and Chase Banks Branch more recently. On top of it all I just really love solving problems and usually find success. Lets do this thing! * The City of Bozeman strongly values diversity, equity and inclusion (DEI). Describe any efforts you have engaged in to expand your understanding of DEI. I have taken part in many optional and mandatory trainings and courses provided by JP MORGAN Chase Bank. Certificates earned are internal only however these accreditations are held in high regard within the company on Chase Bank. This is the only formal training I have had. Outside of formal training, my fiancé has introduced to me to "Queer Eye" the show. I learned a lot from watching this, especially Jon who is non-binary. This made me curious to learn more and comfortable to do so.
