“Hold fast to dreams. For if dreams die, life is a broken-winged bird that cannot fly.”
As a CPA and MBA, I began my career working in various positions in consulting and financial reporting in Silicon Valley. Soon after making the leap to San Francisco, my passion for real estate was ignited when I purchased a ramshackle “fixer upper” across the street from my home, transformed it into a stunning Pacific Heights Victorian and sold it for a profit. Realizing then that real estate was my calling, I began my career and have never looked back!

I first came here during college to attend a basketball game at USF, I fell in love with the City and I vowed that I would live here.

“Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t really do it, they just saw something and it seemed obvious to them after a while.”
I thrive in the excitement of creating something new. This often manifests in developing novel solutions to clients’ problems. To me, the process of problem-solving is as rewarding as the end result. I am always eager to work late into the night chasing a new idea. I am passionate about absorbing as much of the information around me as possible. Every day represents an incredible opportunity to learn, develop and try something new.

I play soccer and basketball, I am a passionate chef and I am obsessed with fast cars. I also love pets.
My favorite way to unwind is actually intense competitive sports. All anxieties and stress from the day disappear when I engage in physical competition. I find the focus mentally relaxing.
Driving Hwy 1 as fast as I want with the top down and zero traffic. My wife is in the passenger seat and we have friends waiting for us when we arrive.

“All our dreams can come true, if we have the courage to pursue them.”
Talking real estate is always fun when I’m in the mix. I strive to give the insider perception and take pride in always being transparent. Every engagement is not just about making another deal but finding what is best for each client. I advocate for my clients and keep them well informed throughout every step of the home buying or selling process. I am here to build a community and long lasting relationships. Let’s get a beverage and chat!

Opportunity! I am from Humboldt county, which is a smaller community. A great place to grow up, but I always knew I wanted more for my professional career.
This is always changing for me but for right now it would have to be either Trattoria Contadina (Italian) on Union and Mason or Hinodeya (ramen) on Buchanan and Sutter. I fully recommend them!
I love Trinity! It is located near Redding CA. There are lots of things ranging from boating on the lake to backpacking in the alps.
Energetic, silly, and genuine.
Working out, exploring new areas/traveling, meeting new people, and playing any sport. I love to get competitive from time to time!
I usually workout after work and then get cozy and watch an NBA game or perhaps play a video game.
A perfect day would be surrounded with friends, family, and a lot of food. The weather would be sunny and 80 degrees. Everyone would be close to a body of water to enjoy and swim in.
“Well done is better than well said”
With a background in marketing, I’m all about getting results and making things happen. I’m a big believer in using data to help navigate the ever-changing San Francisco real estate market. Taking care of clients is second nature to me, and I’m here to make sure your home-buying journey is as smooth and enjoyable as possible. When I’m not in the office, I love taking my Boston Terrier, Lola, for walks around Lafayette Park or relaxing with a drink on Fillmore Street.

Where is your favorite place to take a walk or experience the Outdoors?
I love to ride my bike around San Francisco and think it’s one of the best ways to experience the city. Some of my favorite places to ride are up and down JFK Drive in Golden Gate park or along the Embarcadero on a nice day.
Funny, loyal and generous.
I love to travel and I get anxious whenever I don’t have any travel plans on the horizon. I’m also a big fan of movies and an even bigger fan of reality TV… Some might even call me a Bravoholic.
My favorite charity is the San Francisco-Marin Food Bank because they do such great work helping to feed families and communities in need throughout the year.
My dog Lola brings me so much calm and joy whenever I see her, so if I have a stressful day, I just want to cuddle up with her on the couch for hours. A glass of wine doesn’t hurt either.
San Francisco is filled with so many good restaurants so it’s hard to choose a favorite, but I think a classic go-to neighborhood restaurant that has never let me down is Florio on Fillmore street.
I love Alamo Drafthouse (yes I know it’s a chain), but I love their special screenings and themed nights.
Any sunny day in San Francisco between 70 – 75 degrees.
“Be content with what you have; rejoice in the way things are. When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you”
Growing up in San Francisco, I’ve always felt a strong connection to this city and its neighborhoods. With 15 years of experience as a general contractor, I bring a unique perspective to real estate — understanding not just the value of a property, but the craftsmanship and potential behind every home.
In addition to my construction background, I’ve spent the past 10 years building and supporting small businesses right here in San Francisco. That experience taught me the importance of trust, clear communication, and long-term relationships — values I carry into every client interaction.
Whether you’re buying your first home, selling a property, or exploring investment opportunities, my goal is to make the process smooth, transparent, and tailored to your needs. I’m proud to combine local knowledge, hands-on construction expertise, and a genuine passion for helping people find their place in this incredible city.

I am a member of SF Chinatown Rotary International. I like that nobody in the organization draws a salary. Everyone is there as a volunteer and people are so nice. The things we do impact the communities I grew up in. It is a great chance to give back to the city that provided so much to me growing up.

A perfect day for me would be a walk in the park, enjoying a beautiful lunch by the water, meditation, or a great workout at the gym.
I love taking a nice, long hot bath.
I enjoy attending ballet, tech events, art exhibitions, and dance classes, as well as cold plunging. I also love going to networking events and meeting new and interesting people. San Francisco is full of fascinating individuals, which makes these experiences even more enriching.
Funny, positive, and strong
I see the city itself as an ART form, I enjoy visiting SFMOMA and attending the San Francisco Art Fair.

Being part of a dedicated team, which values each client and offers expert support, makes my work even more rewarding. For me, happiness comes from delivering my best work while collaborating with others.

Golden Gate Park, I specifically love biking by the Bison Paddock on my way to Ocean Beach.
Balboa Theater, I love watching movies and they always have an awesome selection of old reruns and special features. Plus they cook up some delicious popcorn!
Creative, Laidback, and Positive.
I love to rock climb, backpack, travel, and make videos. And I’m learning how to sail and mountain bike.
Bike rides through both Golden Gate park and the Presidio are always a great way for me to unwind after a busy day.
My perfect day starts with a sunrise bike ride through Golden Gate Park. On the way back, I pick up a chocolate croissant from Arsicault Bakery before the line gets too long. Afterwards, I go rock climbing at Movement gym near Crissy Field and relax in the sauna post-workout. In the afternoon I’d take my Corgi for a walk. And to cap the night off, I play some board games with friends and make pizza at home.
Movember, they support men’s health and help bring awareness to prostate cancer. Each year I take part in Movember by growing out a stache to help spark conversations about men’s health and raise money.
“Life is like riding a bicycle. To keep your balance, you must keep moving”
As a Bay Area native, I grew up surrounded by real estate, which sparked my lasting interest in the industry. With extensive experience in client relations, I thrive on building connections and solving problems. Naturally curious, I love diving deep into new topics and expanding my knowledge. When I’m not in the office, you’ll find me traveling, playing sports, or spending time with my dog T-Bone.
Born and raised in the Bay Area, I’ve always envisioned myself working in the city.
