Brian Zeitz, MPH, BSN, RN

Prior to working in real estate, I worked in Public Health and Nursing.

Working in Public Health was very rewarding. As a Health Educator I promoted healthy lifestyles to community members in a variety of ways. This included organizing and leading fitness programs, organizing health-related conferences, as well as proving health-related presentions and programs to local schools and companies.  I met a lot of great people and had a lot of great experiences in public health.

I then felt the need to work with patients and heeded the calling to work at the bedside in a primary health care setting. Working as a nurse is a very rewarding career also. It's a great feeling helping people overcome a major setback in their life, such as a tramatic accident or surgery. Today, I continue to work as a registered nurse in a local Intensive Care Setting.

Hobbies and Past times:

I am the type of person who likes to keep myself busy. On days I'm not showing a house or working at the hospital, I often choose to participate in something active, such as running, biking, walking, hiking, tennis or skiing. I also love to travel. One of my favorite local destinations is the Oregon Coast. I try to make it there every year. You may also find me working around the house or on one of my rental properties. A strange quark of mine is I enjoy going to yard sales and antique shopping. Of course, spending a lazy day inside the house is also something I enjoy.

Dogs: Are you a dog lover? If so, we have something in common. Together, Tracy and I have two dogs, Hannah and Rocco. Hannah and Rocco are two very spoiled dogs. They get to go almost everywhere Tracy and I go...many of our trips and vacations are planned according to where the dogs will be able to join us. We often take them to dog parks, dog events, and hikes in the woods.

Would you like to take your dog with us when we view homes? If so, just let me know and your pooch will be invited to join us in my car. Keep in mind, he/she won't be able to join us inside the houses we view.

Giving Back: I feel fortunate to lead the life that I live. I feel the best way to show appreciation for these things is to give to my community and to those who are less fortunate. Below are a few of the organizations I have donated time to, and continue to do so.
