Self employed for life. I owned and operated import retail stores for eight years, starting at age 20. I traveled around the world purchasing home furnishings and garden art to be sold at my stores. We worked together with logistics companies,brokers and many border officials to bring the sea/land containers to our stores. As the times changed, I pursued my passion for building. For the last 14 years I have been building custom homes, additions and remodeling on the Monterey Peninsula. We have been fortunate to work on many wonderful custom projects with amazing people. We love what we do!! Project management is my specialty.
