Being born and raised in Santa Cruz County has given me great appreciation for its unique and boundless beauty. My love for this area was my first inspiration to go into Real Estate. My interest in the Real Estate market was further fueled when, in 1991, my father began working with Thunderbird Real Estate. Growing up around the Real Estate business and seeing how much my father enjoyed his work, encouraged me to seek out my own career in the business. After graduating from high school, I moved to South Lake Tahoe to study business and Real Estate at Lake Tahoe Community College. I finished my studies in Real Estate the following year, but put off taking the state exam to travel. I spent two months living out of a camper, traveling around the United States. The time I spent traveling was an extremely valuable, eye opening experience. From the barren deserts of Badlands, South Dakota to the roaring splendor of Niagara Falls, Canada; from the delicate natural formations of Arches National Park to the concrete jungles of New York City, I feel lucky to have seen so much of what this great nation has to offer. The first thing everyone asks you when you return from such a long excursion is "Are you happy to be home?" After seeing some of the most stunning places one could imagine, I found that I could still say "Yes!" with conviction; because I am convinced that there is no more wonderful a place than here in Santa Cruz County. I guess that old saying, "the apple doesn't fall far from the tree", is true because in October of 2004, after receiving my real estate license, I too began working for Thunderbird. So, if you are looking to buy a home, land or investment property, looking to sell your property or are just curious about its market value, I'd love to hear from you. My cell phone number is

I can’t imagine that there is a better place to be involved in real estate than Santa Cruz County. Growing up here has taught me a respect for nature and the diversity of people. I am lucky to have the opportunity to work with like-minded individuals at Thunderbird Real Estate, including my stepfather and stepbrother Bill and Paul Franzosa. Together we are the Franzosa Team and these last few years with them has been truly rewarding. As part of the blooming generation of the information age, complimented by schooling in Business and Real Estate, I have a solid confidence in all the new technology and tools necessary to deliver good results. As a new father, I am especially excited about my continued experience as a Realtor, and as a part of our wonderful community here in Santa Cruz County.
