Meet Brian
Born and raised on the small island of Catalina off the coast of Los Angeles, California, I’ve always felt a deep connection to the ocean and small coastal communities. After several years of service in the U.S. Coast Guard and time spent piloting commercial tugboats between San Francisco and San Diego, I realized that each return flight to work was getting harder, and that it was time to make a change. Settling in Nosara was one of the best decisions of my life. I met my wife walking along the beach, and together we’ve been fortunate to raise our two boys in this incredible community we call home.
I’ve been a licensed real estate agent in Costa Rica with the CCCBR since 2008, beginning my career with Reef Realty before joining Surfing Nosara in 2014. As our company grew, we purchased the Coldwell Banker brand to expand our reach and enhance the level of service and global exposure we could offer our clients. In 2019, I earned my Coldwell Banker Global Luxury certification, allowing me to further elevate the experience for my friends and clients looking to own property here in Nosara while continuing to manage many beautiful homes throughout the community.
My connection to Nosara runs deep. My parents built and opened a boutique hotel here in 1998, and helping them in the day-to-day operations gave me firsthand experience in how to successfully run a business in Costa Rica. Over the years, I’ve been proud to contribute to the community through local initiatives such as wildlife refuge programs, reforestation projects, and emergency planning efforts.
Nosara isn’t just where I work, it’s home. And helping others discover and build their lives here continues to be one of the most rewarding parts of what I do.
