Over the past four decades I have specialized in the preparation of appraisals for the natural resource conservation community including conservation easements. A partial client list includes: the Minnesota DNR; and affiliated conservation groups including Pheasants Forever; The Minnesota Land Trust; the Nature Conservancy; the Trust for Public Land & The Conservation Fund. Since 2002 I have performed in excess of 50 appraisals on agricultural properties in Dakota County in conjunction with the County's Farmland and Natural Area Program (FNAP) to facilitate the County's desire to acquire conservation easements for conservation purposes. Appraisals include a broad range of partial undivided interests in real property.

I have performed numerous commercial appraisals on a broad range of urban properties which include major apartment complexes, retail properties, shopping centers and malls, limited-service motels, office buildings, industrial properties, recreational properties, subdivisions, lakeshore. Specialized appraisal experience includes easement acquisitions eminent domain acquisitions of major urban CBD properties, large obsolete industrial properties, appraisal of "brownfields" and contaminated properties. I have extensive municipal experience including right of way appraising, easement acquisitions, park land acquisitions, utility assessment and benefits analysis. I have testified extensively in eminent domain matters and in the Minnesota Tax Court representing numerous municipal clients, specializing in the valuation of "big box" retail properties and other commercial and industrial properties in Ad Valorem valuation disputes.
