The majority of his work focused on transportation-related projects, such as highways, roadways, railroad, bike paths, parking lots, site development and utility work. As project manager, the scope of his work included client meetings, negotiation, managing budgets and schedules, overseeing design work, quality control, and coordinating with permitting agencies for environmental permits Allan’s focus is residential real estate in Santa Rosa and the Sonoma Valley, and continuing to build and maintain relationships through communication, trust and respect — which he believes are key elements to both relationships and good business.Allan is on the steering committee of the Church of the Incarnation’s Sunday Open Table, providing breakfast for Santa Rosa’s hungry people, and for Oakmont Volunteer Helpers providing rides for seniors to doctor appointments.
He enjoys spending time with family, traveling, cooking, hiking, reading, volunteering, and wine tasting, and the bounty that Sonoma County has to offer.
