“We had never even met Dave when we first began looking at real estate in Tahoe but by the time we closed he had become our life-long friend. It has been over ten years since Dave found the perfect home for us in Incline and we still love it.”

“We have dealt with many real estate agents in the past but you exhibited a level of competence and concern for our interests that really stand out... “

“David provided a level of service that is beyond what I ever experienced in the past… What also amazed me was the concierge service that I am still receiving after the closings on my 5 properties.”

David was raised in New Jersey, where his mother owned a real estate brokerage for over 25 years. After completing his Electrical Engineering BS from Virginia Tech in 1984, he became an early pioneer in the fiber optic industry. As an entrepreneur in San Diego he created several fiber optic start-up companies and was awarded two telecom patents. He also became involved in underwater hockey and sand sculpting, working on many large projects throughout the US and Europe. David enjoyed world travels and decided to make Lake Tahoe, Incline Village, Nevada, his home in 2000.

David quickly embraced the natural beauty of this Sierra playground, appreciating the numerous Tahoe lifestyle activities including backpacking, mountain biking, kayaking and skiing/snowboarding. He also enjoys artistic pursuits playing bass in a jazz/funk band, snow/sand sculpting, and photography. David volunteers on several local planning committees, and helped create, design and raise funds for the public Disc Golf Course in Incline Village in 2011. He also works with local renewable energy entrepreneurs.

David has been helping clients and new friends negotiate the Tahoe real estate market since 2002 and he can help make your “Tahoe dream home” a reality as well.
