Today, Dean specializes in waterfront homes, hunting and fishing retreats, rustic log cabins, and luxury properties, helping clients find their perfect fit in one of Michigan's most sought-after regions.

He now uses those media connections, storytelling skills, and marketing reach to strategically spotlight his listings, delivering unmatched exposure for sellers looking to make a splash in the marketplace.
When he's not guiding clients or appearing on-air, you'll find Dean enjoying Northern Michigan's natural beauty—boating, golfing, or supporting local causes through fundraising initiatives.
