I have lived and studied in Orange County all my life and have enjoyed all it has to offer.  I am currently married and have two boys ages 27 and 24 and a 6 year old granddaughter.  Family is very important to me and having a position that allows me to work and go home at the end of the day and enjoy my family is something I really appreciate and am thankful for.  During my free time, I enjoy watching movies with my family. Disney movies are my favorite.  We enjoy having family and friends over for BBQ’S or just for a family gathering.

I look forward to serving you and hope that we will develop a good working relationship. I have been in the association management industry for 20 years with an extensive background in customer service and administrative matters. Being a part of South Coast Property Management is really exciting for me. I believe in Scott’s goals for his company and will do all I can to achieve those goals and to bring quality service to all homeowners.
