Born and raised in Sioux Falls, Sam’s passion for real estate was inspired by his dad, Troy, who has been a significant influence in the industry. Throughout the years, Sam has learned a great deal from him, gaining invaluable insights and practical knowledge that have helped shape his career. Growing up, Sam was immersed in conversations about market trends, property investments, and development opportunities, which nurtured his interest in the field from an early age.

Sam discovered his appreciation for sales during his internship at Raven Industries in college, working as an Agricultural Technology Sales Intern. This experience sharpened his communication skills and gave him a deep understanding of customer needs, which helped him recognize the importance of relationship-building in business. Since then, he knew he enjoyed the social aspect of sales—the art of connecting with people, understanding their challenges, and finding solutions that meet their needs.

Today, as a Commercial Real Estate Agent at NAI, Sam brings a unique combination of sales experience and industry knowledge to his clients. His commitment to delivering exceptional service, combined with his love for negotiating deals and closing transactions, allows him to add value to every property he represents. Whether it’s helping businesses find the perfect industrial space or guiding clients through complex real estate decisions, Sam’s passion for real estate and his people-first approach are at the core of everything he does.
