I began my real estate career in 1997 with Frank Howard Allen REALTORS^® in their Mill Valley Office, located just north of the Golden Gate Bridge in southern Marin County.  I was raised in Marin and attended both public and private schools.  I graduated from UCLA in 1982 with a B.A. in Economics.

In 2003, after 7 years of residential sales, I was recruited by Coldwell Banker Residential Brokerage to serve as the Sales Manager and Branch Manger of the 125 agent Grenbrae office in central Marin County.

Beginning in 1999, I was actively involved with my local trade association, the Marin Association of  REALTORS^®.  I was the 2003 Board President in Marin and a Director to the California Association of REALTORS^® from 1999 to 2004.  Beginning in January 2009, I will once again serve as a State Director representing NorBar, the North Bay Association of REALTORS^®.

My wife and I have recently returned to Northern California, moving to Santa Rosa in Sonoma County, having lived for the past 2 1/2 years in Central Oregon.
We both missed many aspects of life in the Bay Area, as well as family and friends. To say the least,    "It's Good to be Home!"

I am once again assocaited with Frank Howard Allen REALTORS^® as a sales associate in the Santa Rosa office. 

It's great to be part of this exciting and dynamic real estate company. The care, integrity, and professionalism demonstrated by Frank Howard Allen agents is second to none in our industry.
