RE/MAX Oceanside Jaco Costa Rica is the perfect match for me as it allows me to use my business finance and international business background. I enjoy sharing my passion for this beautiful paradise with others looking to relocate or invest here.

I came to Costa Rica for the first time in 2000 to surf and work for Young Life and Christian Surfers Costa Rica, two non-profit organizations. After a short time I knew Costa Rica was the place I wanted to call home.

The more I travel I realize we have something special here in the Central Pacific of Costa Rica. It offers such a special mix of lifestyle, activities, nature, wonderful people and a richness to life itself. In my free time I love to surf, play tennis, paint, garden and travel the world.
