My appreciation for fine architecture began during a family trip (my family is part Italian) to Rome when I was a teenager. The Coliseum, St. Peter's Square, and the ornate stonework on a variety of other structures sparked a passionate lifelong interest that became first a hobby, then a vocation. Whenever possible, my travel plans include local architecture -- Taliesin, the Dodge and Wrigley Mansions, Tuscan Wineries -- and I always come away with an enriched enthusiasm for this most immersive of art forms.

Having lived in various parts of the Valley since 1995 (I'm a Michigan transplant born in Ohio), I'm familiar with various areas and the different styles they offer. McCormick Ranch, the Historic Districts, the Biltmore area, Paradise Valley and Arcadia, are just a few of the more popular areas. You can find quite a few jems in some up-and-coming neighborhoods too.

Hobbies and past times I find enjoyable are golf, Bikram Yoga (that's the one with the really HOT room), playing with my two golden retrievers, traveling, and my latest endeavor which is to build a life size replica of the Robot from the Lost In Space TV Series. What can I say...I'm nostalgic!

With over 20 years of business experience in various industries, I bring a customer-centered perspective to working with my clients. Well versed in negotiation, state-of-the art technology, and a drive for knowledge, I am dedicated to exceeding your expectations. My exceptional sellers program takes full advantage of internet and traditional marketing methods so your home receives the most exposure. My buyers program is very detailed and thorough so that I find you the ideal home and neighborhood with the least amount of strain on you.
