Your home is important to you, let us guide you through the process
My personal life
Born and raised in the Bay Area, I have been a part of the Los Gatos community for over forty five years. My wife, Deborah and I have enjoyed raising our two boys in this same community we grew up in. We have been involved in youth sports, school events and community activities. I enjoy skiing, fishing, biking and hiking. Additionally, I enjoy traveling, swimming, a good movie or TV show and spending time with family and friends.

For over twenty five years I have worked as a real estate broker selling homes throughout Silicon Valley. I hold a masters degree in real estate finance and I am a licensed general contractor (currently inactive).

I take great pride in leading my clients through a successful and enjoyable real estate transaction and I look forward to working with you.
