EXPERTISE
LAWYER
As a partner at an AmLaw 200 law firm, I bring a wealth of experience in business law, real estate law, and tax to the table. Over the years, I've honed my skills navigating the complexities of these domains, offering clients tailored guidance and solutions. Whether it's structuring intricate business transactions, facilitating real estate deals, or optimizing tax strategies, I thrive on delivering meticulous counsel that aligns with each client's objectives. My dedication to staying abreast of legal developments ensures that I can provide the highest level of service, making me an invaluable resource to both my firm and clients.u.
REAL ESTATE INVESTOR
Embarking on my journey in real estate investment, I've explored various avenues, from hands-on management of single-family and small multi-family properties to passive involvement in large multifamily syndications. Beginning with the former, I gained invaluable experience in property operations, renovations, and tenant interactions, deepening my understanding of the market's intricacies. Transitioning to the latter, I embraced a more collaborative approach, partnering with seasoned professionals to capitalize on opportunities at scale while minimizing direct engagement. This hybrid strategy has allowed me to diversify my portfolio effectively, harnessing both active involvement and strategic delegation to drive sustainable growth and financial success in the dynamic realm of real estate.
NATURE RETREAT FOUNDER
In the midst of the relentless demands of practicing law, my love for nature became a lifeline—a refuge from the daily grind. As I found solace in the serenity of the outdoors, I gradually realized the profound importance of unplugging, of stepping away from the screens and stressors, and reconnecting with the natural world. This revelation inspired me to embark on a transformative journey, culminating in the founding of Awaken Artemis—a sanctuary nestled within the ancient Redwoods of the Santa Cruz Mountains in Northern California. Here, amidst the whispering trees and tranquil streams, individuals seeking respite from the chaos of modern life can immerse themselves in the healing embrace of nature, rediscovering balance, clarity, and inner peace.
