About Me

I have been active in Silicon Valley real estate since 1986.  I have funded loans as little as $49,000 and as high as $13,000,000.  I have worked with top executives of Fortune 500 companies, principals of multi-generational family-owned businesses and first-time homebuyers right out of college.  I have personally arranged in excess of $450 Million in residential loans and another $75 Million in commercial loans.  I have closed loans in every county in the Bay Area (from Marin and Sonoma in the north to Santa Cruz and Monterey in the south and everywhere in between).

Having grown up in Silicon Valley (I graduated from Homestead High School and San Jose State University with a degree in Finance), I have wide-ranging contacts throughout the entire Bay Area and feel comfortable in nearly every setting.  For 11 of the past 15 years I have managed sales groups with annual production in excess of $500 Million and have maintained personal relationships with most of the management teams at Coldwell Banker, Alain Pinel and Intero Real Estate. 

That's me pre-game at the Shark Tank with Kristine,
Kelly, Erica and Danny last December.


On a personal note, I have four kids ranging in age from 18 to 23.  All attended local schools and were active in sports, dance, music, etc.  I coached literally hundreds of kids in baseball, basketball and soccer.  And I am a die-hard fan of the Giants and Sharks.  I love to read and play golf and, with my surfboard, will occasionally challenge the waves in Santa Cruz (the waves usually win).
