For years, I measured success by scale. As a managing broker at Coldwell Banker Realty, I oversaw more than 120 agents — coaching, closing, solving problems at volume.

I learned the industry from the inside out: how deals really work, where they break, and how to protect the people at the center of them. I closed more than 100 homes and built six years of hard-won expertise.

And somewhere in all of it, I realized I wanted to do this differently. Around the same time, I found my way to Zen.

I began practicing — and eventually teaching — in the Cheon Su Shim Gi lineage, learning that presence is a discipline, not a mood. Sound, breath, and stillness became a daily practice that changed how I move through the world. I stopped rushing. I started listening. And I noticed something that had been true all along: the spaces we live in shape the lives we live inside them.

That is where these two paths converge. I left the volume behind to become a Boutique Broker — working with a small number of clients, personally, with the full weight of my experience behind each one. And I built House of Alignment as the place where all of it lives together: real estate, design, and wellness, guided by one idea.

A home is not a transaction. It is a transition — from one chapter of your life to the next. So I don’t just help you find a house. I help you find the right one for the life you actually want. That is the work. That is the alignment.
