Over the past 10 years, I've practiced real estate in New York, New Jersey and Connecticut. I transitioned to a career in real estate after many years in the dental field. After graduating from Arizona State University with a B.S. in Biology, I spent the next thirty five years as both a surgical tech in periodontics and in surgical sales with ITI Straumann, headquartered in Basel, Switzerland. Additionally, I've managed several specialty practices, including my family's prosthodontic practice in San Francisco. My role in practice management, case coordination and patient care translated gracefully into my "second act" in real estate. I'm highly organized and thrive in an environment involving the coordination of multiple players, a skill key to any real estate transaction. I'm experienced in the representation of both buyers and sellers but admit that I have a soft spot for first time home buyers, of whom I'm fiercely protective.
Over the years, having a passion for home design, I've focused on beautifying both my residential and work spaces in areas I've lived including Scottsdale, Los Angeles and San Francisco. Significant accomplishments include the addition of a complete second story to my San Francisco home, a comprehensive build out of my family's dental paractice, restoration of my 1850 historic home in Upstate New York and oversight of several interior design projects at Hamilton College.
I was born and raised in Upstate New York, where much of my life was shaped by the Adirondacks. My love of nature, animals and the great outdoors remains strong and I enjoy cycling, skiing, hiking and playing hockey, which I do regularly here in Litchfield County. I often say that one of the greatest joys of selling real estate is that it often results in my clients becoming lifelong friends. When I'm not out showing homes to clients, I'm often cycling or hiking local trails with them - always happy to ride or walk as far as they'd like.
I'm currently licensed in Connecticut and New York and am a member of the National Association of Realtors, Greater Hartford Association of Realtors and Mohawk Valley Association of Realtors. I'm also a member of the Washington Business Association and enthusiastically volunteer with our local land conservancy, Steep Rock Association.
