Why did you choose to pursue a career in real estate?

I owned a small computer systems consulting business for about 15 years. I was getting a little bored with it. My wife was a mortgage broker and I thought it looked interesting. So, I sold my business, got my broker’s license, and started my real estate career. My only regret is that I didn’t change careers earlier.

How have you adapted your marketing/business during the era of Coronavirus (COVID-19)?

I have put a much larger emphasis on digital interface with prospects, clients, and vendors.

What’s the best thing that happened to you this month?:

My wife and my birthdays are both this month. So, the best thing we did was get away for a three-day mini vacation.

Are you a morning or a night person?:

Definitely a morning person.

What is one of the things you would put on your “bucket” list?:

Since I have taken one of my daughters and one of my granddaughter’s skydiving, I can’t wait to take my great-granddaughter. However, I will be in my 80’s when that happens.

What is something you wish you could be good at?:

Playing an instrument.

What is something most people would never guess about you?:

That I had 100+ amateur boxing matches in golden gloves and the Air Force.

Must have purse/car item:

Spare lockbox.

What does a perfect day in Sonoma/Mendocino/SF County look like for you?:

Driving Coleman Valley Road to the ocean with my wife.

What’s your favorite local restaurant?:

Tie between Tony’s Galley and Riviera.
