Raised in the Salinas Valley and proud to call Hollister home for more than 15 years, I understand the values that make our community special: hard work, integrity, and commitment to others. Those principles have guided me throughout my life, from my military service to my career in finance and real estate.
I proudly served in the United States Marine Corps for nine years, where I developed the discipline, leadership, and dedication to service that continue to shape the way I work with clients today. After my military service, I earned a Bachelor of Science in Accounting from Golden Gate University and an MBA with a concentration in Finance from Santa Clara University. This educational foundation helped me build a successful career spanning real estate, commercial lending, corporate finance, and executive leadership.
As a licensed California Real Estate Broker since 2005, I have spent more than two decades helping clients navigate important financial decisions. My experience includes residential and commercial real estate financing, as well as serving as a Corporate Controller and CFO for multimillion and billion-dollar organizations. This unique background gives me a broader perspective than the typical real estate transaction.
To me, real estate is about much more than buying or selling property. It is often one of the largest financial decisions a person or family will make. My background allows me to help clients evaluate opportunities through both a real estate and financial lens, considering not only the property itself but also its long-term impact on wealth, cash flow, investment potential, and financial security.
Whether you're purchasing your first home, upgrading to your next property, investing in real estate, or utilizing VA loan benefits you've earned through military service, my goal is to provide knowledgeable guidance, honest advice, and a strategy tailored to your unique goals.
What truly sets me apart is the combination of military service, financial expertise, lending experience, and real estate knowledge. Clients don't just gain a REALTOR®—they gain a trusted advisor who understands the bigger financial picture and is committed to helping them make confident decisions every step of the way.
Real estate is more than a transaction- it's a foundation for your future. I would be honored to help you achieve your goals and guide you through the process with professionalism, integrity, and care.
Let's work together to make your next move a successful one.
