I am a fourth generation SF Bay Area native and enjoy living and working where I grew up. I attended Cal Poly in San Luis Obispo where I earned a Bachelor of Science degree in Finance. After gaining a solid academic foundation from Cal Poly, I entered the professional world as a financial consultant responsible for assisting corporations with their initial public offerings (IPOs) and other public and private financing. In this position, I gained valuable experience in understanding client needs and developed a proven track record for exceeding their expectations. After a few years, I was promoted and responsible for opening new corporate offices throughout Northern California and the Pacific Northwest. It was during this time that my interest in real estate emerged. In order to pursue real estate as a career, I accepted a position as a real estate portfolio manager for Sun Microsystems overseeing 8 million square feet of office space. In this position, I ensured that all real estate leases, land development, and building acquisitions were competitive and consistent with corporate strategy. Although I thoroughly enjoyed this position, my ultimate goal was in residential real estate. Serving as a real estate broker has been my most satisfying business endeavor and has given me the opportunity to build strong personal and professional relationships with a variety of wonderful people.
