My Napa Valley based practice is founded on 25+ years of experience working for globally recognized design firms, iconic destination communities and visionary developers. This unique experience has allowed me to appreciate the design and development process in its entirety - from regulatory, design and construction perspectives.

The development process can be time consuming and complex. My practice is structured to provide a service that expedites this process by leveraging my local experience and the professional partnerships I have established here in the Napa Valley.

  • Owner Representation - Collaborate with clients, general contractors, sub-contractors, design teams & local regulatory agencies to keep construction project scope, schedule & budget on track.

  • Compliance - Collaborate with clients and local regulatory agencies to address code compliance issues.
