Growing up in a small Midwestern town, Jerrods love for the outdoors runs deep. Hes hunted, fished, and explored everywhere from Nebraska to South Africa, Alaska, and beyond. After spending over 20 years in the outdoor and archery world, managing stores and designing top-notch gear, hes now found his true calling in connecting folks with the land. Jerrod and his wife, Heather, recently welcomed their newest little one, Colter, joining big brother Sawyer. They cant wait to introduce both boys to hunting, fishing, camping, and all the simple joys that come with being close to nature. Raising them to appreciate the land, like Jerrod did, is a dream they cherish every day. Land is more than just acreage to Jerrod its where memories, friendships, and family traditions are made. Helping others find their perfect property, whether its for a dream home, hunting, or investment, is a passion he doesnt take lightly. Jerrods journey may have taken him all over, but his hearts right here, making connections and building memories. Over the past years, Jerrod has transitioned into a new and exciting time in his life that has led him to new adventures, a new home, new career, and a wonderful family. Jerrod's wife Heather and himself recently welcomed their son Sawyer into the world, and are beyond anxious to introduce him to the outdoors. They hope that he, too, will enjoy, thrive in, and appreciate the world of hunting, fishing, hiking, camping, and outdoor adventure in the ways that they have. Raising him with respect, appreciation, imagination, and passion is something they do not take lightly, and hope that he will grow up like they did in the good old days. There is one constant that has always been an integral part of life that has allowed Jerrod to pursue his dreams and passions no matter where he traveled to: Land. Without land, his fondest memories, greatest achievements, most cherished memories, and most rewarding adventures would not be possible. Uniting buyers and sellers in the exchange of ownership of land is something that he does not take for granted, and is one of the most rewarding challenges out there. Helping a buyer purchase their dream property, no matter if its for recreation, building their dream home, income and investment, or whatever the case, is an achievement that brings Jerrod great joy and pride. Assisting a seller in parting with land that they may have owned for generations, having an intense emotional attachment to, can be a bittersweet situation, but is a great opportunity to build a new and exciting relationship. These are just tiny snippets of what Jerrod enjoys about being a Land Specialist and helping others. Jerrod looks forward to where this incredible road will take him, and wakes up every morning with passion and excitement for what the day may bring. Jerrod cherishes the relationships, friendships, and family he has built, but will never stop reaching for more!
