How I Work
I work with first-time buyers, move-up buyers, and homeowners across the East Bay who want clarity before making big decisions. Many first-time buyers start by reviewing my first-time homebuyer guide for San Mateo, Alameda and Contra Costa Counties, which explains how affordability, loan programs, and competitive offers really work here.

Outside the Office
I live in Castro Valley with my family, and when I’m not helping people navigate financing, you’ll find me chasing good food, better music, good single track mountain biking and anywhere my motorcycle will take me…oh, and I love a groan-worthy Dad joke.
