Growing up in Hartford CT, my first career was repairing and renovating Victorian homes. After 15 years of swinging a hammer on the East and West coasts, I moved to Mendocino County, where I started a landscaping company. For 12 years, I enjoyed working with my hands and being outside in the mountains. Since moving to San Francisco, I've been lucky enough to align with Compass, and I'm thrilled to be working in real estate here in this beautiful city. I've spent months on end hiking on the Appalachian Trail, The Long Trail, the Colorado Trail, and the Pacific Crest Trail. A number of years ago, I fell in love with snow sports, and I go skiing as much as possible. When not helping clients with their real estate needs, I enjoy exploring the city with my partner and our dog, serving on the board of the Hayes Valley Neighborhood Association, volunteering, and making the most of my precious time here.
