ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT

I consider myself a Renaissance Man, and my life journey has been enriched by a tapestry of diverse experiences offer a perspective that can rarely be found. My 25 year adventure in the real estate world began with assisting my Top Producing mother, investing in rental properties and then a prestigious tenure at the former top brokerage of Alain Pinel which eventually led me to my current role at Golden Gate Sotheby's International Realty.
