I believe it is imperative to earn my client's trust.  Part of my formula involves allowing my clients to get to know me on a personal as well as professional level.  With that in mind here is a brief snapshot of my personal and professional background:

• I have completed a career involving nearly 30 years as a professional firefighter rising to the rank of Division Fire Chief.  As a firefighter I was part of a culture that demands honesty, integrity, hard work, a "calling" to help those in need, and (often) a good sense of humor.  I have successfully transferred those skills to my career in real estate -- I have a long track-record of distinguished service to my clients.
• I have been with the Saratoga office of Coldwell Banker since 2004 -- I am blessed to be affiliated with such a fine group of real estate professionals.
• I am a certified "EcoBroker" trained in recognizing "green" attributes in homes and identifying "green" mortgages.  I am also a member of the National Association of Realtors (NAR), the California Association of Realtors (CAR), the Silicon Valley Association of Realtors (SILVAR), and the Multiple Listing Service (MLS).
• I have always had a passion and love for music.  I try to see live performances throughout the year, as well as perform myself when I am able.  I also serve as a volunteer for Villa Montalvo at their musical events.
• I ride motorcycles, and for about two years after high school I raced competitively in such venues as the San Jose 1/2 Mile, Cow Palace Indoor, etc.  Now I simply enjoy my recreational rides throughout Northern California on my 2006 Harley Davidson Road King Classic.
• I graduated from Sequoia High School in Redwood City, College of San Mateo, St. Mary's College (BA in Management), and Notre Dame deNamur University (MA in Public Administration).
• I have two wonderful and accomplished adult children, both of whom have graduated from the University of California at Berkeley -- My son Eric is a playwrite, and my daughter Brooke has a successful career in the pharmaceutical industry.
