My career started in the kitchen, not in real estate. For 20+ years, I worked as a chef and restaurant owner in Portland, where I learned that great service is about consistency, resilience, and taking care of people. That belief still guides me, because I believe everyone deserves a fair shot at owning property.
Working and living in Southeast Portland has shown me how powerful homeownership can be. It builds stability, belonging, and community. But access hasn’t always been equitable. My mission is to make real estate more transparent and empowering, especially for those who have felt shut out of the process.
I take time to educate my clients, simplify complex steps, and advocate fiercely in negotiations. Whether you’re buying your first home, investing, or starting a new chapter, I meet you with clarity, patience, and respect.
When I'm not in the field I enjoy cooking dinner for my wife and being a homebody. My passion for hand making knives lets me channel precision and intention into something tangible. As a proud owner of two pitbulls, Green Bean and Cashew, I value loyalty and enjoy challenging outdated assumptions, whether about dogs or life.
Southeast Portland isn’t just a market to me- it’s home. And I’m committed to helping more people claim their place here. If you’re ready to explore your options, ask questions, or start building toward ownership, I’m here to help, without pressure and always with your goals at the center.
