About

I bring people, ideas, and the practical work of building together.

I help clients navigate the process of creating a home in Costa Rica, from the earliest decisions through design, construction, and the details that give a place its character.

My background

A practical role shaped by a creative life.

I am a musician, an artist, and a father of three living in Costa Rica. Alongside that life, I have become deeply involved in the process of building homes here: working with architects, builders, craftspeople, suppliers, and clients to turn an idea into something real.

Construction and music may seem like very different worlds, but both depend on listening, timing, collaboration, and an awareness of how many individual parts contribute to the whole.

That way of seeing informs my work. I care about budgets, schedules, materials, and practical solutions, but I also pay attention to proportion, atmosphere, and whether the finished home still feels connected to the original intention.

A home should work well, belong to its setting, and feel unmistakably personal to the people who live there.

Why this work

Building here requires more than a set of plans.

For someone living outside Costa Rica, even ordinary parts of a project can be difficult to manage from a distance. Finding the right people, understanding local practices, following purchases, resolving questions, and knowing what is happening on the ground all require a trusted local presence.

My role is to provide that presence. I represent the client’s interests, maintain communication between the people involved, and help the project move forward with greater clarity and continuity.

I am not the architect, engineer, or specialized builder. I work alongside those professionals, helping connect their expertise with the client’s priorities and with the practical realities of the project.

What I bring

Attention to both the process and the place.

Local understanding

I work directly with the people and practical systems involved in building in Costa Rica, helping clients navigate a process that may be unfamiliar to them.

Personal involvement

I remain closely connected to each project. Clients have one person who understands the larger picture and can follow questions through to their resolution.

A creative eye

My background as an artist brings an additional sensitivity to materials, proportion, color, atmosphere, and the small choices that shape how a home feels.

Every project begins by understanding what matters to the client.

If you are considering buying land or building a home in Costa Rica, tell me what you have in mind and where you are in the process.
