I grew up in the San Fernando Valley, specifically West Hills, and I have many fond memories of my childhood home. I graduated from Canoga Park High School and then moved to Thousand Oaks to continue my collegiate education at California State University, Channel Islands, where I obtained my Bachelor's of Science degree in Chemistry. Although my education taught me valuable lessons such as dedication, hard work, and perseverance, I never quite found the right niche once I entered the workforce. Like many, my wife and I moved to the Santa Clarita Valley for the wonderful schools. Also, like many, we were eventually priced out of renting, and found that becoming homeowners was very obtainable. It's at this time that our Realtor suggested I consider obtaining my real estate license, and offered to bring me aboard with one of our local brokerages here in Santa Clarita. I began working as a real estate professional in 2014, and have loved every minute of it. I realized how much more I enjoy interacting with people, than I did being in a lab. I believe in solid customer service, and I feel extremely fulfilled whenever I have the opportunity to go above and beyond for my clients. Buying or selling a home is not always easy, especially when there have been so many memories made. I am always excited for opportunities to learn and grow personally and professionally, and I am excited to share in that with Realty One Group Success! My wife, Cynthia, and I reside in Valencia with our three children, our two cats, and dog. We have been involved in cub scouts, boy scouts, girls scouts, baseball, and soccer. We currently enjoy family time while they compete in their bowling leagues and softball. I am heavily involved my son's high school band program, and have been elected for a third year as a board member on it's non-profit booster club organization. In our free time, we love going to the beach, spending time at our neighborhood parks, playing disc golf, and hiking.
