About

My passion for Porsches was instilled in me at a very young age. As an avid motorsport enthusiast, I have created a lifestyle built around Porsche. I love sharing this passion with my clients and have always taken the "I sell experiences not cars" approach. In my free time I can usually be found driving my 911 on the backroads of Northern California or riding motorcycles with my Fiancé. Having worked in the highline and exotic dealership space for over 6 years, I find myself back with the brand that means the most to me, and that brand is PORSCHE. There is no substitute.
