My 100% Commitment
My philosophy is to offer the highest quality personal service not only for your current transaction, but for a lifetime. This focused approach allows me to guarantee complete satisfaction, so that you will want your friends, family, and associates who need a real estate consultant to put their trust in me as well. You can count on me to provide them with the same level of concern and dedication that I have pledged to you. My vision is to build lifelong relationships, one person at a time. To me it's the only way to do business, and I think you will appreciate the difference.

Work History
I am a native Californian and have been a resident of the Bay Area since 1965. In 1975, I moved to Berkeley to become a counselor for the California School for the Blind. It was at this job that I met my future wife, Jennie. During this period, I returned to school and earned a Bachelor of Science degree from San Francisco State University. At this same time I was also working for Bill Graham Presents, assisting in the production of Rock & Roll concerts. I began my real estate career at Marvin Gardens Real Estate over twenty years ago and immediately became one of the top-producing agents, a status which I have maintained annually!
Community Involvement
My wife and I have two children who graduated from Kensington Hilltop School, and then went on to graduate from El Cerrito High School. Our son Kevin is a graduate of UC San Diego, and our daughter Steffi is a graduate of UC Berkeley. Over the years I have participated in many fundraising functions in connection with my children’s school activities, such as the Kensington Hilltop School’s Garden Party. I am also a continuing supporter of Youth Enrichment Strategies, a non-profit organization providing summer camp experiences for children and families in Richmond. I also support the American Cancer Society’s Walk for the Cure, and the annual Toys for Tots Drive at Marvin Gardens Real Estate. My family and I are also very passionate about animals and animal rescue. Over the years, we have fostered and found loving homes for over 100 cats and kittens! And of course we have several of our own formerly feral rescue kitties, as well as our beagle Poppie!
