I made that dream a reality when I moved 45 minutes north to San Francisco in 1999. I became a homeowner in 2004 and followed that with investing in a rental property. As a local, I have an intimate knowledge and understanding of the many micro-neighborhoods. I earned a BS in Business Administration with an emphasis on marketing and later obtained a Real Estate Broker License. I enjoy learning and expanding my knowledge base which ultimately helps me provide better service to my client. My latest courses focus on construction and construction management. Any free time is spent out exploring our beautiful and diverse city with my fiancé Chris, friends and our two spoiled mutts!
