I wasn’t born here, but I knew Santa Barbara was home the moment I arrived. Raised on the East Coast, I spent the first 15 years of my career in Washington, DC and New York City. A chance opportunity with a digital advertising start-up brought me here in 2005—and I was hooked. The natural beauty, active lifestyle, and unique pace of life captured me immediately.
I quickly discovered locals would head to the beach on summer evenings for swimming and running competitions, followed by live music, food, and beer. Somewhere between serious competition and pure fun, I realized, “Yep, these are my people.”
After a mix of start-ups and Fortune 500 stints, I found my second act in real estate. Today, I have over 10 years of full-time experience and more than $100 million in sales, combined with 20+ years in Marketing, Business Development, and Contract Negotiations. This combination sets me apart from other Realtors and allows me to provide my clients with exceptional guidance and results.
A long-time resident of both the City of Santa Barbara and the Santa Ynez Valley, my wife Kristin and I have lived in and owned properties in both areas, giving us firsthand experience of the unique lifestyle, neighborhoods, and communities each offers. We make our current home in the “Valley,” where we’ve raised our four daughters.
We love running, swimming, cycling, and hiking, as well as theater and live music—and of course, wine tasting in this world-renowned region. We give back to our community by coaching with the Santa Barbara Special Olympics and serving on the boards of various non-profits.
