I was born in Stillwater, Minnesota, and with the exception of my time at the University of Minnesota and my years as a Sales Representative with General Mills, I have been a lifelong resident of Washington County. Since 1990, I have proudly called Woodbury home, where my wife Deb and I have built our life together for more than 35 years while raising our three now-adult children—Josh, Noah, and Maggie. We have recently been blessed with a beautiful new chapter as well: becoming grandparents to our granddaughter, Charlotte, who has brought tremendous joy to our family.
My professional foundation in sales with General Mills, along with my experience as a funeral director, prepared me exceptionally well for real estate. Both roles required empathy, careful listening, thoughtful guidance, and a steady presence during significant life moments. That consultative approach—where listening and asking the right questions matter far more than talking—continues to define my work today. It allows me to fully align with my clients’ long-term goals and advocate for them with clarity and precision.
My focus is simple: deliver maximized results by doing more and doing it better than others are willing or able to do. I recognize that buying or selling a home is one of the most important financial and personal decisions my clients will ever make. Because of that, I approach this work with seriousness, generosity, and strategic discipline, ensuring my clients have every possible advantage.
I am a busy, full-time Realtor—but never at the expense of service. I do not prioritize self-promotion over client care, nor am I driven primarily by income. This work is far too important for that. My responsibility is to protect, guide, and position my clients for success.
The trust my clients place in me is something I deeply value. Their continued patronage and the words they share about their experience reflect that trust. I have been named a “Super Real Estate Agent” by MPLS/ST. PAUL and Twin Cities Business magazines twenty times, and in 2023, The Chuck Eckberg Group was one of just five Minnesota companies to receive the prestigious Better Business Bureau Torch Award for Ethics.
When you choose to work with me, you are positioning yourself with a clear advantage in what is likely the most significant purchase or sale of your lifetime.
