After five unfulfilling years in Corporate America, Real Estate seemed like the right career path. Since 2004, I have represented hundreds of buyers and sellers in high-end, investment and bank owned sales. My science background taught me not to be attached to an outcome, only the best solution. This allows me to bring sincerity and respect to my work.

Providing creative real estate solutions is a privilege. I recognize how special this community is, and why people live and own property here. Over the years, I have grown to appreciate the intimate involvement I have in the most important financial decision a Homeowner will make. This is why I am honored when people refer me to their friends and family.
