Bio
The trajectory to starting his commercial real estate career in 2012 was not linear, but rather a long and winding path. Tyson is grateful for that journey as it prepared him for the success he has experienced in this business. After obtaining a psychology undergrad degree and a master’s in special education, he always thought he would retire as a teacher or pursue a PhD. Ultimately, it wasn’t until he got his first taste of business by starting a small company selling mattress toppers in college bookstores, that he realized he was destined for bigger and better things.
What Tyson loves most about being a broker is that it is centered around people, helping them solve problems and building their legacy. He has come to understand that at his core, he loves helping people. He enjoys seeing others succeed and sharing in that success. Tyson is a big-picture guy and he sees the vision more than the details right in front of him. As an owner and active operator of mobile home parks and apartments, he also has a unique perspective that allows me to relate to each owner’s situation and recognize what is needed to maximize their success. This has translated to 100+ transactions and several hundred million dollars in sales since 2015.
Tyson thrives on working extremely hard, but he can also completely unplug and unwind. And when he does, most often he is outside with his wife, son and daughter playing sports, camping, chasing trout with my fly rod, snowboarding, riding my bike, or playing with their Australian Terrier, in the beautiful Pacific Northwest.
