You need someone you can trust with your island home and its care while you are absent. The task of managing multiple residences can be daunting. You also want to trust someone to have your home in excellent condition and welcoming for you, your family, and/or your guests upon arrival. You want someone who knows this community, the resources that are available and that has the relationships with those resources to get the job done.
I have worked for decades building trust with clients, as a financial consultant with a major Wall Street firm, as an event producer and project manager, and as an account manager for many corporate clients. I have opened and managed two upscale Pacific Northwest inns, one of them with a fine dining restaurant. I have worked in the nonprofit community for over a decade as a volunteer, Board member, Board Chair, and as a Co-Chair. I am also very handy around our house and five-acre property...just ask my wife!


I provide reliable, reasonably priced services with a simple mission...to make your life easier in the task of managing and caring for your San Juan Island home. I take pride in being attentive to your needs and wishes so that your home maintains its value and you are able to enjoy it to its fullest.
I will conduct thorough, scheduled visits to your property during your absence. I have a keen eye for details and will provide monthly condition reports with digital photographs of any areas of attention or problems when necessary.
Over the decade or so that I have lived on San Juan Island I have a significant list of trusted resources and other contacts which can get jobs done that I cannot do myself. I call these arrows in my quiver.


Simplify your life by having a trusted year-round, engaged, and connected island resident look after your valuable San Juan Island property. Regular contact will keep you fully informed and you can rest easier in your other important endeavors.
  • Protect and care for the pristine qualities of your San Juan Island home.
  • Relax and enjoy your property while on the island and let the work get done when you are not.
  • Consider this another form of "asset management". Protect and grow the value of your home.
