"I consider myself rather fortunate to live where I work and play too. A big part of my memories about growing up are the weekends spent at the beach playing volleyball, riding the surf, flying kites, or boating with my family and friends. Believe it or not, I still take great pleasure in doing all those things! Perhaps that's partly why I have such a passion for designing and selling coastal lifestyles here...This is the area I love most, and know best."
