I am an Orange County native (grew up in North Tustin), have owned a residence in San Diego County since 2014, and frequently travel to Riverside County to enjoy the spectacular outdoor recreation activities (boating, desert trails, etc.) there. My expertise in all three counties along with my office's central location in North San Diego County allows me to service clients in all three areas. In addition to being a real estate broker in two states, I am also a licensed attorney in four states with a focus in real estate, so I provide my clients with an elevated level of professionalism and unparalleled negotiating skills.
My beautiful wife and four amazing boys keep me busy and grounded while I'm not working! My oldest is currently serving in the Côte d'Ivoire (Ivory Coast) Yamoussoukro mission.
