Professional Experience
I
draw upon my many years of experience as a real estate investor in
residential, income, and recreational properties to aid my clients in
achieving their goals. My many years in business have helped shape my
strong sense of customer service and my ability to negotiate decisively
and efficiently for my clients.
My real estate experience includes transactions in the sale, purchase, and management of ranch properties; residential properties; mountain and vacation properties; and recreational properties. I routinely work throughout Placer and El Dorado counties, and Sacramento and Nevada Counties and neighboring regions to a lesser degree.

One Additional "Specialty"
You might have noticed that I publicize myself as a "Ranch Property Specialist." In 1999, along with a partner, I developed what is now widely considered 'Placer County’s Premiere Equestrian Facility.' That project involved designing and building a home, and developing a fully functioning 60-stall facility with multiple arenas and barns, and an indoor barn and arena structure which covers more than 25,000 square feet of ground. Visit the web site for this ranch at: www.StageStop.net
Training and riding academy programs were also my projects during the developmental stage of the ranch. Additionally, I developed and implemented the marketing to bring that beautiful ranch to its current splendor.
My
past experience includes owning several small businesses between 1979
and 2005, as well as working as a licensed civil engineer for both
Federal and State governments. I have broad project management
experience and training, and I have extensive training in negotiation,
interpersonal communication, and cross-cultural awareness.
Education
I
have an AS degree in Math and Physical Sciences from American River
College; and a Bachelors of Science degree in Civil Engineering from UC
Davis.
My
education includes formal training and experience in evaluating a
project or plan in both economic terms and in terms of customer
satisfaction and intangible value. What this means to you as my client
is that I will serve you with concern for your wishes while always
keeping a realistic and educated eye on your goals. My pledge to you is
to continue to educate myself so that I can best serve your needs.
Personal Information
I
have lived, worked, and owned property in El Dorado, Placer, Yolo, and
Sacramento counties; I consider myself a "neighbor" in a large list of
communities. I now live in Lotus, near Coloma, in El Dorado County.
I enjoy meeting new people, and working with people to solve a problem or reach a goal. I consider every client a potential new neighbor and friend, and I believe in long-term relationships. I enjoy spending time with family and friends. Balance is the key to me. I try to make time for my outside interests which include horseback riding, writing, downhill mountain biking, skiing, ballroom dance, and working on my home and garden.
