I was born in Fort Bragg on April 9, 1949, at the old hospital on Main Street—now known as the Grey Whale Inn. I grew up here on the Mendocino Coast, attended local schools, and graduated in 1967. After that, I headed off to Sonoma State College, where I earned my B.A. in Political Science and Psychology in 1972. After college, I returned home to Fort Bragg and helped manage the Alioto/Lazio Fish Company until 1978. I then spent time crab fishing and went on to work for 18 years as a commercial sea urchin diver. In 1999, I decided to try something new and made the move into real estate. I started with Century 21 Fort Bragg Realty in 2000 and have been there ever since, helping buyers and sellers with their real estate needs from our office at 809 N. Main Street. I truly enjoy the business of real estate, and many people know me as the “Homeboy”—born and raised right here on the Mendocino Coast! Being a Realtor, I really enjoy the interaction with clients, whether that’s showing property, listing and selling homes, or working through all the details that come into play in this fascinating business. Feel free to contact me anytime with questions or to make an appointment to discuss your property needs—I’ll be there for you and hope to continue representing clients for many years to come. Please call anytime. My direct line is 707‑964‑2186, our front office number is 707‑964‑2121, and my cell is 707‑972‑7940.
