John has deep and broad knowledge of the Santa Fe real estate market, having lived and worked here for more than 20 years.  He specializes in the buying and selling of luxury properties in the greater Santa Fe area, including the historic East Side, Las Campanas, and Tesuque.

John's financial acumen is appreciated by his clientele; he earned an MBA in finance from New York University and enjoyed a 20-year career on Wall Street. John's buyer clients rely on his frank and honest assessments of potential properties as he helps them find the perfect home. For sellers, he provides exceptional service that makes an often-complicated transaction as seamless as possible. 

John moved to Santa Fe from New York City in the late 90's, drawn by the lifestyle, weather, natural beauty, and small-town ambience. He can be found hiking with his wife Margaret and their dog Lilly, having breakfast al fresco at Big Tesuque, or dining at his favorite restaurant in town with Margaret and their two adult children.

John is passionate about his family, his community, and his health and fitness. He is a former board member of Desert Academy School and served as the vice president of his community HOA board. He is an avid baker (pizza, bagels, and pretzels are his specialties), gifting friends with his homemade creations. Few people know that John is the owner of a 15-year-old, 35-pound African spurred tortoise named Henry.
