I was born and raised in Berkeley, California, and after graduating from Orange Coast College and Washington State University I traveled to Vietnam to teach English. I taught there for three years, in small villages and also at the University of Hue. I learned Vietnamese and met many wonderful people, including the woman who became my wife.

Now I once again live in Berkeley, where I am a real estate agent with Keller Williams Advisors and I also help my wife raise our three sons. In our free time my children and I practice jiu-jitsu and judo at the local martial arts school. We spend August through May in Berkeley and every June and July we all return to Vietnam where we visit my wife's family and stay in the house we built there.

As an agent I strive to be diligent, competent, trustworthy, and friendly, and to help my clients achieve the best possible deals that they can.
