As Californians, we’re fortunate to enjoy some of the best weather in the country. Growing up in Southern California, nearly all my fondest memories revolve around being outdoors — days spent with family and friends, and evenings that carried on under the open sky.
From a young age I was drawn to beautiful homes and gardens, and I knew I wanted to be part of creating them. For more than 30 years, from Beverly Hills to Lake Tahoe’s North Shore, I’ve had the privilege of building extraordinary properties for wonderful clients. My devotion to organization, detail, and craftsmanship keeps me deeply engaged in every project, every step of the way. In 2015, I moved my family to the Sierra Foothills to deepen our connection with nature and the outdoors.
What I love most in every project — whether modest or magnificent — is creating outdoor environments and watching them come alive.
Sunlight and Shadow is my outlet for that passion: We create outdoor environments that feel like sanctuaries. Spaces that are deeply personal, where you and your loved ones can connect with nature and the elements in a way that feels most authentic to you.
Let me bring my passion and decades of experience to the outdoor sanctuary you’ve been dreaming of.
