A Mortgage Consultant since 2002, I joined Guarantee Mortgage in 2010 after five years as a Case Manager and Home Buyer Counselor with the Bay Area’s premier First Time Home Buyer Down Payment Assistance Program administrator. A Michigan native, I moved to San Francisco in 1980. In 1990 I married my wife Toni and we purchased our home on Potrero Hill: a TIC, which we condo converted in 1992. I serve as President of our Home Owner’s Association. Toni & I, both veterans of the fine dining industry, enjoy camping and fly fishing together and are members of the Potrero Hill Community Garden. I also enjoy hunting, woodworking, and handcraft bamboo fly fishing rods.
