About Me


I am an eco-consultant, green speaker, LEED consultant and Certified Green Building Professional with a background in green real estate. I consult with developers, builders, businesses, and home owners. Previously, I was the CEO of a 70 agent real estate company with offices in Rancho Santa Fe, Encinitas, Poway, Palm Springs and Little Italy. My designations include: Certified Green Building Professional, EcoBroker, and Real Estate Broker.

WHAT I DO

I provide consulting in two primary areas:

Green Building- new construction, remodels and retrofits of a variety of buildings including commercial, multi-family housing, schools, industrial, and residential.

Green Business Practices - Increase revenues and ROI through sustainable business practices, effective green branding, and implementation of a sustainable strategy.

In both areas I coordinate all green elements of your project, from inception to completion, including, but not limited to:

  • Project goal planning
  • Vendor research and recommendations
  • Project budget planning
  • Green feasibility studies
  • Current business assessment
  • Green opportunity assessment
  • Green marketing plan
  • Building the ‘green’ team
