I was born in Chicago, Illnoise and later in life moved to California. I met my wife in high school and we have been happily married for 37 years. We have three beautiful children and twin grandchildren. I started a business with my wife building, remodeling, and buying/selling homes. After 4 decades I handed the business over to my oldest son and youngest daughter, and am now a proud realtor providing my community with professional real estate services. I strongly believe in integrity, service before self, transparency, efficient communications, liberty and justice for all, and win-win outcomes. Outside of the office I enjoy hiking, biking, and gardening. I love being involved in my community I have been a part of Rotary clubs for the past 30+ years, local food drives, feeding the homeless, contributing to shelters for women and children.
