A very successful real estate practice...

I have sold real estate since 1988 and have been selling in Gig Harbor since 1994. I have received the Presidents award every year since 1995 and "Presidents Elite" in 2002. I also received the 2002 Top Sales award in my office.

My success is a result of two commitments:

to know my market place intimately (I work 5-6 days a week and during the course of a month I will typically preview 70 to 100 new listings).
to focus on the needs of my clients. That is the basic outline of my business plan and it is extremely effective.

In 2002, 41% of my business was referred from friends and clients and 38 % were repeat customers. The entire focus of my business has been based on satisfying customers and with that goal in mind, everything else has fallen into place.

The average client will complete about five transactions during the course of my career and I know the way I handle the first one determines whether or not I get to help with the rest. I believe that people want to work with a realtor they can trust and is an expert in his field!

My wife and I moved here looking for a better quality of life and a healthy place to raise a family. In Gig Harbor, we found what we were looking for.

Personal Info

I was born and raised in the San Francisco Bay Area. In 1986, I graduated from San Francisco State University with a Bachelor's degree in Business Administration. My real estate career started in 1988 with Marcus & Millichap, Inc. selling apartment buildings and shopping centers.

In 1994, my wife and I moved to Gig Harbor. I really wanted to work in the community that I lived in and Gig Harbor did not have enough commercial real estate available to give me a comfort level that I could make a living so I looked into residential real estate.

(North Cascades Heli-Skiing)

During the winter you can often find me shooshing down a steep mountain somewhere in the Cascades. In the summertime I fish the Sound, the rivers, and the ocean for salmon. I also enjoy backpacking where I can enjoy God's natural beauty and get some quiet time.

We previously lived on the coast of California and it was beautiful but something was missing. For years, my wife and I talked about moving somewhere but did not know where to go. We looked at different areas in Northern California and all over Oregon. We were looking for a healthier place to live - somewhere with clean air, open space, nice people, a Christian environment, lots of outdoor activities and a great place to raise a family. On a trip to Washington we felt like we had found the place we were looking for, we just had to find the right city. We traveled the State and looked at lots of cities. Nothing could compare to the quality of life and the beautiful surroundings we found in Gig Harbor so here we are.

We now have two beautiful little girls; Lauren & Mikayla.
