Starting in the business right out of college, I’ve been deeply passionate about financial literacy and teaching people how to build generational wealth. My journey began with a profound lesson from my grandfather, a blue-collar worker who transformed his life from washing dishes to owning a restaurant and eventually an entire shopping center. Every Christmas, while my 12 cousins and I never received physical presents from him, we found Fidelity statements in our stockings. As a child, it seemed insignificant, but his small gesture turned into a $20k windfall when he passed away. At 24, I used that money to buy my first house, renting out rooms to friends, saving diligently, and eventually buying more properties. Over the past eight years, that initial $20k has grown into five properties, allowing me to honor his legacy and demonstrate that wealth-building is possible with the right information, not necessarily a lot of money.

Today, I lead a dynamic team and branch in the mortgage industry, excited to shape its future. With an Economics degree from UCSB, I reside in Little Italy, San Diego, where I’m a Padres season ticket holder. My hobbies include wine making and tasting, traveling, scuba diving, and enjoying live music festivals.
