About Me

I consider myself one of those people who are extremely fortunate to be doing exactly what they want to do in life. Working with family and friends, friends of my friends, and other personal referrals to buy and sell residential real estate here in the greater Sacramento area. I thought I would share with you a little of my background just to let you know more about me. Hopefully you or your family and friends would like to consider my services, if you knew more about me.
I grew up in northern California in the small community of Burney and attended high school in Sonora California. I moved to Oakdale where I raised my family… we lived on a small cattle ranch with peach and walnut orchards. I also worked at Hershey’s chocolate plant while attending Modesto Junior College for two years. Can you imagine eating all the chocolate you want!!? I later started working in a bakery decorating cakes and going to real estate school in the evening. After obtaining my real estate license, I went to work in a local office and continued to work in the bakery before transferring to Sacramento.
Now my three children are all grown with children of their own, as well as grandchildren and great grandchildren. I enjoy every minute that I get to spend with my children and family. Besides family, I have an interest in golfing, traveling, antique shopping and landscaping. These activities are a way for me to feel refreshed and relaxed. My huge passion for remodeling and designing homes opened up my interest in Real Estate. Now, I have been in the business for 35 years! Real Estate sales have been very enjoyable for me with memorable transactions.

Thank you so much for taking the time to read a little about me, if is greatly appreciated.

My Committment to my Clients
I want my clients to know that I am straight forward and honest. I care about them and their dreams. Because of my concern for others achieving their dreams, I really get to know them and ask a lot of questions. I want to help my clients find their dream home. I work for them and their best interests.
I would never expect to be given your business because of our relationship, or how we may know each other. However, if you ever have a residential real estate need, I would be extremely honored if you would give me the opportunity to work hard for you to earn your business.
