We were born and raised in the north of England where Bernard worked in technology related companies in engineering, sales and marketing positions. Bernard’s daughter, Michelle, moved to California many years ago after deployments in the British Royal Air Force in England and Germany. Bernard, with his wife, Sylvia, Michelle’s mother, followed her some time later when Bernard was given the opportunity to take up a leadership position in an international consulting firm.
By this time, Michelle was an established Realtor, and she subsequently persuaded Bernard that real estate would be the ideal career move for him.
Bernard made the move into the real estate industry in 2001, Since then, he notes that it is one of the most satisfying moves he ever made. In addition to combining many of the skills gained in previous positions, it provides an exceptional level of satisfaction in helping people realize their real estate dreams at all price points.
An avid woodworker, when he’s not involved with Real Estate, Bernard can often be found making furniture in his woodshop or working on some home improvement project. His other interests include website development, video, anything technology related, and food and wine.
An experienced skier, Michelle tries to spend as many winter weekends in Tahoe as she can. She is also involved with a number of charities, including East Bay Stand Down, a 3-day event to help homeless veterans in the East Bay where they are provided with medical and dental care, counselling and much more.
