I'm a long term resident of this great city Chicago, moving here when I was 19. I've lived in just about every area of the city, both nice and not so nice. I've seen the neighborhoods change and am still seeing the constant evolution of urban space. After a few years in Chicago, I moved to the west coast, trying out San Francisco and Los Angeles for 3 years. Although I loved California, I couldn't keep away from the energy of Chicago.

Before becoming a Realtor, I had many jobs that honed my skills in business, customer service, computers, and most importantly, real life. I owned a cafe' and coffee shop on Fisherman's Wharf in San Francisco. I then moved on to run a local commercial hologram company with a national line of retail stores.

Using my experience in computers, I was the Internet Technologies coordinator at a River North print house designing and building tracking software along with the company web site and job ordering system. With the tech down-size on the horizon and after a great experience buying my own home, I began my training to become a Realtor.

Remodeling my home has been a great educational experience and has given me insight into almost every aspect of assessing and fixing problems and obsolescence. It is these skills and knowledge that set me apart from other Realtors. I believe that truth and diligence are key. Let me put these talents to work for you, whether trying to get the highest price for your home or if you're buying, the best purchase price negotiable.
