About

Hi!

If you already know me, it’s probably because I’m the founder of Lamorinda Families, a community group I established in 2014 that has grown to over 11,000 members. What began as a way to connect local families became a thriving community hub, championing small businesses, supporting local charities, and helping families through life’s ups and downs.

Originally from England, I’ve spent the past 40 years calling California home, from Los Angeles to the Bay Area. I spent 15 years living in Orinda, raising my family and becoming very involved in the Lamorinda community. These aren’t just places I know on a map. They’re communities I’ve lived in, raised my children in, and built lasting connections throughout.

This makes my approach to real estate a little different.

With a long background in design, business ownership, and fundraising, I bring a little more than knowledge of homes to the table. Having bought, sold, and renovated my own homes, I understand both the practical and emotional sides of moving, as well as the importance of finding not just the right property, but the right place to build a life.

Whether you’re making that exciting move through the tunnel to Lamorinda, looking for more space as your family grows, selling a much-loved home, or simply ready for a new chapter, I bring years of local knowledge, a creative eye, and a genuinely personal approach to every move.

Buying or selling a home is about so much more than the property itself. It’s about understanding what matters to you, recognizing potential, and making your next move the right one.

Call me anytime!
