Top 1% in the Bay Area
Passion, compassion, and enthusiasm are at the core of everything I do, personally and professionally. A native Marin real estate agent, I help clients confidently buy and sell homes across Marin County, San Francisco, and the Bay Area. From our first conversation to the final closing, I’m committed to outstanding results and the highest-level client service.
Real estate advisor
and family man.
I’m a Marin County native and Bay Area local bringing the drive of a former NCAA D1 college swimming athlete. A homeowner on both sides of the Golden Gate Bridge for two decades, my knowledge, expertise, and network is magnified by my family. We've owned and built commercial real estate my entire life. To say the least, real estate investing and design is in my DNA.
From 2021 to 2023, I was the top Marin County real estate agent at my former brokerage, Avenue 8. Today, I’m a leading agent helping clients throughout the San Francisco Bay Area. In 2023, I was BAREIS MLS ranked in the top 0.5%.

A locally connected
Marin real estate agent.
I was born and raised in Marin County, growing up riding my bike through the neighborhoods and trails here, and have a lifelong connection to this beautiful place. My background includes commercial property ownership with my family and deep ties to the design world—my mother is a seasoned interior designer. My renovation and design resources have been invaluable to my clients. With unique value, I help clients move forward with confidence, clarity, and trusted local expertise.
San Francisco and Bay Area
real estate expertise.
I launched my real estate career in San Francisco, where I was a homeowner for 14 years before returning to my native Marin County. My family and I lived in Cow Hollow—surrounded by Pacific Heights, the Marina, Russian Hill, and the Presidio—giving me first-hand insight into some of the City’s most desirable neighborhoods. Whether you're exploring San Francisco’s unique communities or preparing to sell, I bring the market knowledge and personal experience of a longtime resident, homeowner, and real estate professional.
