I grew up nearby in Rockville, Maryland, and went to high school in DC. I then spent 12 wonderful years living in New Orleans and Atlanta. In my past lives, I traveled around the world working for CNN's Turner International Sales Office, and started and ran a restaurant in Atlanta with my husband.

Capitol Hill welcomed my family with open arms in 2002. We currently own 2 businesses and send our son to school here, and we still can't get over how lucky we are to be in such a wonderful community with some of the world's greatest amenities steps away. I want to help everyone find that happiness, wherever it might be for them.

I was born in Detroit, Michigan and raised in Los Altos, California about 45 miles south of San Francisco. I went to college at the University of California, Davis and studied Environmental Policy. After a stint in the Central African Republic doing fish farming with the Peace Corps I returned to the San Francisco Bay Area and started working with a high tech firm. This led me to Washington, DC in 1989, and working as a medical systems consultant on a variety of Department of Defense Projects world wide. My wife and I met in DC, then moved to Kaneohe, Hawai'i for four years before having the first of our three children, then moving back to Capitol Hill.

The Washington area is a great place to live and I often feel like I'm selling a lifestyle as much as an address. My wife and I bought an old house, renovated it and watched our neighbors do the same thing. We feel we've helped build our community, and I get great satisfaction helping others discover DC's many different neighborhoods as well.
