I was born and raised in California. Lucky for me, natural beauty and outdoor adventure have never been far from home. Mountain biking and rock climbing have been favorite pastimes for over 20 years, but it was my discovery of river guiding that changed my life. It took me throughout the Sierras, down the Grand Canyon, and defined most of my waking moments every summer for years. It was a beautiful thing. And then one day a friend asked, "So, what do you do in the winter?"

That's when it hit me: I needed to find a place where I could have just as much fun and adventure in the winter as I could in the summer. It didn't take long for me to land in Truckee, and to realize I had found the place I would call home.

Today, I lead a wonderful life in North Lake Tahoe with my wife, Erin, twins, Granite and River, and dogs, Reba and Sabby. I chose a career in real estate just so I could help others find this same quality of life, and the job has never let me down. In fact, some days are so good I have to pinch myself.

What's even more exciting is that my passion for my work pays off in happy, satisfied clients. I am proud to have been named the Best Realtor for Truckee in 2007 and 2008 by Sierra Sun readers, with over $10 million in successful sales for my clients in each of those years.

As a Truckee real estate specialist and resident, I have in-depth knowledge of the area's homes, micro markets, amenities, and other points of interest. My commitment to exceeding my clients' expectations and building trusted, long-term relationships is what makes them, and me, happy and satisfied. I know that any client could easily become a neighbor, and I treat each one with the thoughtful, personalized attention as if they already were.

Whether you are looking for a vacation home or to relocate, I will help make your dream of owning Truckee real estate a reality.
