Personal Information
I currently reside in El Dorado Hills and enjoy meeting people and building long term relationships. My wife and I love getting together with friends and family to enjoy the many activities that our area has to offer including local concerts and fine dining and outdoor adventures like bike riding, hiking, and boating.
As a prior owner and President of a highly successful wireless communications company in the SF Bay Area for over 15 years, I learned that one of the most important secrets to success is to provide superior customer service. Now as a Realtor in El Dorado Hills my primary objective is to first understand what you wish to accomplish and then deliver the results that you desire. You can trust me to always have your best interests at heart, while keeping you informed and educated every step of the way. I respond quickly to your calls, emails or texts, usually immediately and certainly within a 24 hour period. Contact me anytime, I am here to help.
