Meet the Presidents: Young Professionals Society


Christian Nossum: Young Professionals Society President


The Young Professionals Society (YPS), sponsored and staffed by RTS, is a service organization of young professionals who support RTS and its mission.  Along with service events, YPS also has several social events throughout the year.

Christian became involved with Rebuilding Together Seattle when his friend, Michelle, brought him to the first YPS meeting in 2008.  He was immediately hooked and hasn’t missed a YPS meeting ever since! Christian became the President of the Young Professionals Society in June of 2009. 

There are two things Christian loves: “Homes and helping people- it’s my job!”  As a real estate agent, RTS was a natural fit for Christian.  He sees YPS as an easy way for young professionals to gather and be like-minded about giving back to the community.  “Most people that volunteer their time are usually really good people, so it’s fun to see the dynamic of these people getting together for a cause and getting to know each other," Christian explained.  "It’s a great way to meet people who are all in the same place in life and share a passion for giving back to the community.”

Christian loves that RTS is not only about helping homeowners, but also about helping communities:   “The way we help these individual homeowners is by improving their homes, and by improving their homes we are helping out the community and, essentially, RTS volunteers make up that community, so it’s this great cycle of giving and improvement.”

To join YPS or learn more about the group, contact Christian at Christian@DealsInSeattle.com or visit the facebook page here to become a fan to get updates on socials and service events throughout the year.  Christian is a Seattle Real Estate agent- visit his website at http://www.dealsinseattle.com/!  Christian has committed to donating $500 to RTS for every person that uses him as their real estate agent to buy or sell a home that is an RTS volunteer, Board of Director, or staff member (Donation based upon the successful closing of the transaction).
