I'm John Zwisler. You may know me from my 30 years of living and working locally in Southwest Colorado. Or, maybe we have played handball or talked about ranching or real estate.
Here's a little background. I was raised in a large family in Central Indiana. My wife Sally and I (she is a Purdue graduate while I got my degree from IU) have raised our family, Ross and Melissa, here in rural Bayfield. Ross is a graduate of CU Boulder and Melissa of Ft. Lewis College. Sally has been working for the US Forest Service for the past 29 years. I love to read, boat, camp with my family and take care of our ranch. We built our home, love the small ranch lifestyle and live 'off the grid.'
My long term relationships and involvement in the community allow me to constantly provide my customers with valuable insight and information into what is happening locally.
