History

Established in 1987.

I came to the Petaluma area in 1987 to try my hand at farming on 400 acres along Lakeville Hwy. For nearly 8 years we tried farming organic hay and grain, Jerusalem Artichokes, Amaranth, barley, wheat, Blue Gum Eucalyptus trees and even built a rice patty. Working as a family we built a full size fuel alcohol plant designed to convert carbohydrates and bio-​mass into automotive fuels. Due to floods in 1983 and 1986 and California turning away from alcohol fuel in the late 1980’s we realized we weren’t rich enough to continue our farming passion. I went to get a «town job» and it turned out to be helping friends and neighbors buy and sell country properties and homes. 22 years later I still enjoy helping people get to where they want to go in real estate and treat them with the honesty and respect they deserve. In 2002 I partnered up with a friendly competitor, Scott T. Murphy as we figured we could provide better service and still have a life if we worked together to help people.
