Off the Clock

Outside the world of open houses and offer negotiations, you'll find me clipped into a harness halfway up a rock wall or bombing down singletrack on my mountain bike. These aren't just hobbies — they're where I sharpen the instincts that matter most in real estate: reading the terrain, staying calm under pressure, and never giving up before the summit.

From red-rock canyons to snow-covered alpine routes to the trails right here in North County, every adventure teaches me something I carry into my work. The grit it takes to send a tough climbing route is the same grit I bring to the negotiating table on your behalf.

Rooted in Community

Encinitas is home — where I'm raising my family and putting down roots in the same neighborhoods I help my clients discover. I know these streets, these sunsets, and this community because I live it every single day.

I'm also a firm believer in giving back. Whether it's volunteering at the Walk for Hope 5K, supporting local charitable organizations, or simply being there for a neighbor, community is at the heart of everything I do. When you work with me, you're not just getting an agent — you're getting someone who genuinely cares about the people and places that make this coast so special.
