Professional Experience

As a New England native, I first entered the real estate industry in the late 80's achieving multimillion-dollar producer status, rookie of the year award in unit volume and The Dozen national sales award presented to the top 5 percent of residential sales associates nationwide. I practiced real estate briefly in the Bay Area before joining the San Jose Convention & Visitor Bureau as a National Sales Manager.  I greatly enjoyed being part of the marketing team of the city of San Jose for seven years.  After discovering San Diego was the perfect new home for me and my family, I knew and it was time to get back to my real estate career and passion for helping people. I feel very fortunate to have discovered this special area of the country, as it's the perfect place to assist others realize their dreams.
