I have lived in El Dorado County since 1976. I came here from Southern California, a little town called Temple City, in the San Gabriel Valley. The beautiful foothills of El Dorado County appealed to me because they offered a wonderful lifestyle where I chose to raise my family. I currently own a horse ranch in Somerset, where I ride horses. My daughter also rode horses, and my sons rode dirt bikes. My oldest son still does even though he is now married and has his own ranch and two boys that ride dirt bikes also. I feel I am an expert in these here hills and I would love to help you find your dream home.

   In 2009, I found my ranch was too big with my children gone, so I leased it out and moved back to Southern Cal. with my mom and daughter. I now sell real estate in both Northern Cal. and Southern Cal. I travel back and forth and have several great partners on my team that work with me.  My knowledge of both areas and my extensive web sites keep myself and my clients abreast of the real estate market. I still specialize in horse properties, but I have added beach to my list.

The history of Shingle Springs is one of boom, bust, boom. When gold was discovered in the area in the early 1850s, people rushed to stake their claim. As claims failed, the miners moved on, but cattle ranchers and farmers saw the value in these hills and continued to support the area. The first post office was established on February 3, 1853, the first general store in 1865. In 1866, the Sacramento Valley Railroad was extended to Shingle Springs. As a railroad terminus, the town boomed with trains and stages departing daily. It became one of the busiest business centers in the Golden State. But in 1867, the railroad found a new route through Auburn. Some area residents moved on, but many decided to stay and establish Shingle Springs as a permanent community. On May 11, 1865, the name was changed to Shingle. It stayed that way until 1955, when it again became Shingle Springs. Today the city is once again experiencing prosperity as resident seek a simpler way of life.
