Having lived and worked in the "Silicon Valley" for over 35 years and having bought and sold several area properties, I've always had a keen interest in the valley's real estate phenomena. After a successful management career in a major Silicon Valley company, I decided I could add value to the real estate business by bringing a truly professional approach based on meticulous business ethics and outstanding customer service. I strive to inject these elements of professionalism into all facets of my business and as you can see from my many testimonials, my customers seem to agree.

I've spent thirteen years developing my unique approach to real estate professionalism as well as a substantial base of satisfied customers. As a full-time, professional Realtor, I have extensive experience representing both buyers and sellers in the highly competitive Silicon Valley real estate market. My professional approach is based on skills developed over 25 years in high technology project and personnel management. Personal attributes like responsibility and accountability and specific professional skills like marketing, interpersonal management, negotiation, problem solving and project planning distinguished my management career and now define my approach to the real estate profession.

My formal education includes a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering from the University of Connecticut and a Master of Science degree from Stanford University. I've also completed several Santa Clara University-taught management institutes and company-proprietary leadership institutes. 

My management training also includes interpersonal management, negotiation, problem solving and effective presentations. My real estate training includes Practices, Principles, Legal Aspects, Economics, Finance, Appraisal, Property Management, Escrows, and Office Management.  

I'm an active member of California's second largest real estate board, the Santa Clara County Association of Realtors. I'm also a member of the National Association of Realtors and the California Association of Realtors, organizations which uphold the highest ethical standards among their members.

Whether working with first time buyers or luxury home sellers, customer satisfaction is my highest priority. Sometimes its the small things like always returning phone calls within minutes, or offering personal advice on how to best prepare a client's home for showing. At other times it may be suggesting creative financing options, coordinating and overseeing a range of property inspections or negotiating a contract dispute that threatens to undermine the purchase. All of these and more have been cited by my customers as notable reasons for their high level of satisfaction.

Married with three children, I reside in San Jose's East Hills or San Jose Country Club area. I have one married daughter as well as identical twin boys currently attending college. My wife and I enjoy traveling, restoring our circa 1929 Mission Revival style home, walking in the hills and enjoying the great restaurants, museums and cultural activities of the Silicon Valley.
