California Broker Owner

Because of his ability to keenly focus on and understand his client’s wants and desires, Wayne has been a source of real estate solutions for over four decades. Growing up in Redding in a real estate lending, sales, construction and development family, gave Wayne an in-depth understanding of the ever-shifting complexities of real estate markets and property transactions.

Seeing enormous opportunity and possessing an expansive spirit, Wayne relocated to Pebble Beach, California in 1981. He became a sought after real estate project consultant, design and build commercial contractor and developer in the Monterey Peninsula. Wayne successfully completed over twenty real estate projects within ten years. His projects included luxury homes, residential subdivisions, apartment complexes, medical offices, retail buildings, and a hospitality project on the dunes of coastal California.

Wayne and Freddie missed Shasta County’s natural beauty; so in 2003 they moved back to their origins.
