Whether you are looking to buy or sell in the greater Portland area, I believe you deserve to work with someone who is trustworthy, patient, a good listener and who works tirelessly on your behalf. I believe that while this business involves big life choices, buying and selling real estate should be fun. I like to have fun.

In high school, I interviewed a friend's mom about her real estate career for a school assignment. I remember asking her about her favorite part of the job. Without hesitation, she said; "People think real estate is about buying and selling buildings, but it's actually about people. I like helping people." All these years later, I think about those words daily as I help people solve problems, accomplish goals, and embark on new adventures.

Houses are nice. But it's about people.

I like people, and people seem to like me - so, it works out pretty well! Before becoming a realtor, I spent 15 years facilitating Social-Emotional Learning programs in elementary schools. Turns out, teaching kids life skills like active listening, stress management and conflict resolution helped prepare me for a career in residential real estate.

I was born in St Louis, but grew up in the Bay Area where I met my wife and we started our family. Seeking a better quality of life and an ideal place to raise our son led us to Portland. We knew instantly we had made the right choice; we love the Pacific Northwest and all it has to offer an active family. I dedicated myself to finding the perfect home for our family. I took this role very seriously and began poring over listings, neighborhood statistics, school ratings, and crime reports. I learned a lot, and I had fun too! Portland is truly a city of neighborhoods and I delighted in the exploration of the uniqueness of each one. We eventually settled in Eastmoreland, which has proven to be a great fit for us.

I love the beautiful architecture that is found throughout the PNW. In fact, owning an older home with real character is one of the things that drew us to Portland in the first place. When I'm not hosting open houses, or helping a client find their perfect home, most weekends you'll find me maintaining and restoring our 1915 Craftsman bungalow. Working on my own home has provided me both a great sense of pride but my knowledge and experience as a handyperson has also proven to be a valuable asset to my clients.

Get in touch with me today, I'd love to hear about your plans and explore how I can help you achieve your goals.
