I have sold over $75,000,000 of residential real estate over the last five years. Prior to moving to Sotheby's International Realty in June 2010, I was a top producing agent at The Grubb Company, and I continue to be consistently ranked as one of the top producing agents in the East Bay. My success is attributed to my passion for selling the various neighborhoods in Oakland, Piedmont and Berkeley and not just the beauty of the house. Finding the right neighborhood for you is a top priority as I understand the importance of neighbors, dining, shopping, commute times and proximity to the many good things offered in the East Bay. I am a twenty year resident of Crocker Highlands and recently remodeled my circa 1929 Spanish Mediterranean home built by noted San Francisco architect, W.W. Dixon.

Prior to selling real estate, I was a vice president of sales for two internet start-up companies that were acquired by publicly traded companies. During this tenure, I traveled over one million miles over a twelve year period. Like most road warriors in northern California, I found it hard to believe that I spent so much time away from home and life in the beautiful Oakland hills. Searching for a career whereby I never had to travel on an airplane or commute long distances to work, I carefully planned to start my career in real estate. Real estate was not entirely new to me as I sold real estate in Houston, TX during the early 1980’s while attending graduate school.

To me, success also means giving back to the community from where my money comes from and that means supporting the Oakland public schools in my neighborhood and also to the Piedmont Schools. I underwrite the Crocker Highlands fourth graders trip to the Gold Country each Fall as well as supporting the annual Spring auction, the walk-a-thon and the Crocker Highlands Home & Garden Tour with all proceeds supporting the school. In addition I support the Piedmont Schools in various fundraisers for the elementary schools and the senior prom. I feel that education and the local schools are the cornerstones for all of the communities in Oakland, Piedmont and Berkeley. Giving back to the communities I serves is paramount to my business and success.
