I bring a diversified background to the area of Fiduciary Services.  The assistance I provide for my elderly mother has enlightened me to the need so many of our seniors have.  Not only do I bring empathy and understanding to my clients, I bring a sound business, family oriented and a financially sound perspective.

I moved to the San Francisco bay area in 1980, raised a family, and enjoy the lifestyle, multi-cultural atmosphere and free spirited thinking that makes it a great place to live.  My daughter is an experienced emergency room registered nurse and is now an Acute Care Pediatric Nurse Practitioner at the Stanford Lucile Packard Children’s Hospital.  My daughter in law is also a registered charge nurse at the Stanford Medical Center . Both have made me more aware and understanding of our health care system, especially in senior needs.

I have operated successful businesses as well as assisted in the sale and transfer of ownership of other bay area businesses.  In particular, I owned a successful wholesale supply business on the peninisula for 20 years, sold it, and transitioned my skills to business brokerage.  Since 2006, I have been volunteering with SCORE at the San Francisco office of the Small Business Administration, mentoring future and present business owners.

I believe my interest in working and helping people comes from my early career in the hospitality business where I held executive and managerial positions in the hotel business.  My alma mater is the world recognized Hospitality School at Florida International University and the State University of New York - Delhi campus.
