I was born and raised in an entrepreneurial family in Massachusetts. I learned the "ins & outs" of running a business and the importance of customer service at a very young age. I graduated from Syracuse University with a Bachelor in Fine Arts. I've had the good fortune of living in Europe and traveling the world.

I moved to Portland in 1999, quickly falling in love with the city and state; I knew I was home. Within a year I had purchased my first home and really gotten to know the city and surrounding areas. Before long I had friends who grew up here asking me what restaurants to eat at, day trips to take, etc... this transferred perfectly to my profession. Today I work hard and play hard. I've become an avid scuba diver, still love to travel, still find new restaurants, still find myself every bit as passionate about Portland and Oregon.

The one thing every business I have ever linked my name to has shared was the impeccable treatment of the customer. This begins with truly listening to and understanding a client's hopes and needs. I try to put myself in his or her shoes, becoming passionate about his or her wishes, and then follow through consistently, until the job is done. It isn't rocket science, but it is something that I never allow myself to lose sight of. It is something that does set me apart and something that I am proud of. For me, this is extremely satisfying personally and great for business.

I promise to make my clients' needs a top priority. I will do so with integrity and honesty with all whom I encounter. I will use my negotiation skills, humor, as well as my knowledge of the market, industry, and human behavior to provide the best experience possible for my clients and my peers. In business, as in life, I can not promise that everything will always go perfectly. I can, however, assure you that regardless of the obstacle I will always be there for you, and I will do my best to not only fix problems encountered, but to have you thrilled with the service you received.

I volunteer my time and commit resources to many non-profit and charitable organizations that give back to the community, less fortunate individuals, and the earth in a multitude of ways. « Show less
